Well, i get nothing suspicious in the /var/log/XFree86, and i really don't see what could happen here. It worked yesterday with the 4.3.0 packages and my own driver module. Now that i fixed it i cannot even get back to the broken situation and use gdb on the kernel or something such. Do you have an idea of what might have caused this ? Friendly, Sven Luther
