Seemed strange indeed. So I just looked at the source again and saw that I had forgotten something. "UseFBDev" only works if you specify the bus ID in the Device Section, likeBusID "PCI:0:16:0"
Interesting item that one... I ought to try see what happens without that line. I do have that line in my config file. I believe that _nothing_ works without it, but I ought to test that at some stage.
> provided I give it a decent modeline. I don't understand why you need a modeline at all. But there's no point in arguing over that of course. ;)
Well, at least I have figured out why XFree3.3.6 had such a strange modeline. The kernel aty128fb driver runs at that speed (the fact that the chip does not run at that speed is beside the point--the X server does not need to know that).
You said in an earlier post that "ProgramFPRegs" "No" killed the display, is that no longer true?
Mostly. It does kill the display if X dies... and X used to die badly because, if you recall, I did not realise I needed to deal with ldconfig because I was not using debian packages. The problem was, of course, when X died, the display did not reset to console mode. Now that I have things working, it all looks obvious :-(.
