------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-26 22:30 ------- I guess the problem still exists in the released version of Mandrake 9.1 I'm using an ASUS L8400 notebook, which has the Savage/Mx well. When installing from scratch, I'm getting the black screen mentioned above when testing the X configuration. Besides this the XF86 log returns an error: (EE) SAVAGE(0) Failed to Fetch an BIOS modes. Disable BIOS. When upgrading from a 9.0 installation I've got is to work ... at least for a limited time. So far it worked until I switched to the KDE login manager (this would not be the root cause). Switching back to the Mandrake login manager gave me at least some icons back (non X login (runlevel 3) and startx) home, CD and floppy on a total black background. Haven't seen this with previous versions of Mandrake (switched from SuSE to Mandrake 7.2).
