That won't help. I'm currently using a mystique and am having the very same problem. It's _very_ easy to circumvent but requires a recompile of xorg. The fix still hasn't made it into xorg CVS. Maybe time to write another bug report. But i think I remember having written one for XFree86, which behaved the same way. I was told that it was merely a timing issue but AFAIK this isn't configurable und it was fixed in 4.5. But I never tried that out. To "fix" the issue, I usually did the following: 1. $ emerge xorg-x11 waited after the moment when everything is unpacked and patched and hit CTRL-Z 2. $ vi /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11.../work/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/mga/mga_storm.c search for the lines: |/* MGAISBUSY() reportedly causes a freeze for Mystique revision 2 and older */ | if (!(pMga->Chipset == PCI_CHIP_MGA1064 && (pMga->ChipRev >= 0 && pMga->ChipRev <= 2))) | while(MGAISBUSY()); Reading the comment exactly, it is easy to fix it (i.e. it couldn't work for Rev. 2): | if (!(pMga->Chipset == PCI_CHIP_MGA1064 && (pMga->ChipRev >= 0 && pMga->ChipRev < 2))) (i.e., changing "<= 2" to "< 2") 3. $ fg to continue the suspended emerge job I'd suggest making a binary package and saving it somewhere... -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
