If it helps any, it has the same freezing black screen stuff just doing "X -probeonly". Same spot in the error log. So it has something to do with trying to access the video card for the r128.. And I can't compile a debug version to try and run gdb and figure out where it is stopping. I filed a bugzilla report on that (https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/show_bug.cgi?id=5832) so hopefully we can get this straightened out.. It's a G4 400 with the standard r128 card, so I'm afraid that this might affect lots of people.. Ian ------------------------------------------- Ian White email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
