Yes, Windoes (or even OpenBSD or Linux) don't leave the hardware in the same state as after a clean power up. And the X drivers can get confused by that. I'm seeing that too on dual (or triple) boot macines, I'm not sure there's much that can be done about it. I've taken the habit of always powering the machines down before rebooting. May be a suspend/resume cycle (that will POST the video subsystem in a subtly different way than power up) fixes that ? in that case we could my be do it in the boot process too ? > Attached is the relevant bits. > > [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which > had a name of Xorg.0.log] > > [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which > had a name of pcidump] > > [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which > had a name of dmesg] > You should know better than OpenBSD's lists have a paranoid config :) -- Matthieu Herrb
