I'm not sure about the IRQ stuff, but the refcount thing shouldn't be a problem. With xorg logs, the last lines don't mean anything, the error could be in the first line, it could be in the middle... who knows. Are you going to be at the meeting tomorrow night? If so, make sure you can SSH into your box, and someone should be able to help you. I'll be there, but I don't use debian, so I'm not familiar with its quirks. It is very difficult to diagnose a problem like this without seeing the exact xorg log file and other files (e.g. gdm.log, kdm.log, xorg.conf, etc.) Also, asking on a debian-specific list may be more helpful, since it could be a well-known issue to some people... -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
