Manually "kill -9" the X stuff gives me my terminal back. Again starting X gives the same behaviour. After that all, "modprobe r128", starting X again, all works fine. I really don't have a clue where to debug what wents wrong. Anything I can do to provide more detail? System: ------- - Celeron 800MHz - 256 MB RAM - 60GB IDE hd - ATI All-In-Wonder 128pro (Rage128 Chipset) same with vga=normal and no ati128fb support in the kernel and also with applying ati128fb patches and having console framebuffer with video=aty128fb:accel,1024x768-8@75 - XFree 4.2.0 - modutils 2.4.19 /etc/modutils/aliases has: "alias char-major-226 r128" which is the first dri card (0) works as expected with 2.4 kernel tree. the XFree86.X.log file does not give any usefull things (for me). Just stopping here: (II) Loading sub module "ddc" (II) LoadModule: "ddc" (II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a (II) R128(0): VESA VBE DDC supported (II) R128(0): VESA VBE DDC Level none (II) R128(0): VESA VBE DDC transfer in appr. 2 sec. and for now uses 100% cpu time. normally there should come up this after the above: (==) R128(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) (II) R128(0): NEC MultiSync FP1370: Using hsync range of 31.00-65.00 kHz (II) R128(0): NEC MultiSync FP1370: Using vrefresh range of 55.00-80.00 Hz (II) R128(0): Clock range: 12.50 to 250.00 MHz .... Please give me some hints what can be helpfull to debug it and I'll do so :) I think this a 2.5.xx kernel issue or am I wrong? -- Kind regards Marc-Christian Petersen http://sourceforge.net/projects/wolk PGP/GnuPG Key: 1024D/569DE2E3DB441A16 Fingerprint: 3469 0CF8 CA7E 0042 7824 080A 569D E2E3 DB44 1A16 Key available at www.keyserver.net.
