Did a few more tests: - Cannot reproduce without X running and on display (i.e. Crtl-Alt-F1 and FTP works) - Tried another video board (Matrox AGP) and everything works. - With the motherboard integrated video (identified by its VESA BIOS name as VIA K8M800), it can fail even without doing an FTP - but you need to browse - i.e. serial modem connection needs to be active. This video card claims to use shared video memory. - I tried to find few logs files of X (I do not know much in this area) but since I have added the Matrox AGP board, and removed it, X refuses to start. I did not have time to inverstigate why. Etienne. _____________________________________________________________________________ Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail ! Copiez vos mails vers Yahoo!
