Just re-installed Mandrake 9.0 on the Compaq Evo N600c notebook (which had Redhat 8.0)
Tried it without frame-buffer without success - same issue - the system hard freezes
when I switch between and X session (Ctrl-Alt-F7) to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and then
back again.
The only thing I can do is physically reboot the machine!!
Having previously reported a problem with the Compaq Evo N600c notebook
with an ATI Radeon Mobility M6 Y chipset and Mandrake 9.0 - I have
decided to do something about it . . .
I have confirmed that the same notebook under Redhat 8.0 works fine with
said chipset and 3D acceleration (doesn't hang the system when switching
between X console and normal text console)
I have attached copies of the XF86Config, fonts.conf and a readme file
regarding the new font changes in the new RedHat 8.0 - Maybe this could
help the Mandrake team find what the changes are that RedHat did to make
it work for us?
What other information can I provide?
Thx,
R.Fox

# IMPORTANT NOTICE about XftConfig:
#
# The XftConfig config file has been deprecated and obsoleted by
# /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, which is the new font configuration file for Xft2, and
# is provided by "fontconfig". A backward compatible Xft1 library is also
# provided which has been converted to use fontconfig also and provide users
# with a single way of configuring client side fonts, while retaining binary
# compatibility. For information on configuring fonts using fontconfig,
# please consult the fontconfig documentation.
