The only problem is that the X server heavily crashes on shutdown (resp. when executing /etc/init.d/gdm stop) now. Even the console gets corrupted. I attached the kernel log file that shows the kernel oopses. regards, Gerhard -- GMX startet ShortView.de. Hier findest Du Leute mit Deinen Interessen!
