Aha, there it is. It's getting a bit late for me to rebuild my kernel tonight, so we'll see when I get to play with this again. > But you need to remove the i810 entry in 'Section "Module"'.

I started dumping different things in there in the vague hope I could coax it work. :-P > If you run 'Xorg -configure' (as root) and then test with > X -config ~/xorg.conf.new what do you get? > > See: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/x/x-setup.html The config I posted is based on that output. The raw xorg.conf.new doesn't work for me, apparently because it can't autodetect the video modes supported by the monitor. I copied resolution and other settings from the Ubuntu config, and was able to get to my (partially) working state that way. > Did you try Ctrl-Alt-F1?

The console still accepts keyboard input, even if I can't see anything; I can hit the up arrow and enter, and X successfully starts again. I can also blindly type "reboot", hit enter, and the computer does in fact reboot. Google pulled up a few people that had similar problems with Ati cards. Curiously, they experienced these symptoms when they installed a mis-configured Ati driver, but the problem went away when they returned to the vesa driver. -- William Tracy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "We need a special holiday to honor the countless kind souls with unsecured networks named 'linksys'." -- Randall Munroe -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
