I've seen several backtraces like this, it's hard to know which one this one is. You should try catching a better backtrace with gdb. Install libpixman-1-0 and xserver-xorg-core-dbg, restart X, login from another machine with ssh, run gdb -p $(pidof X) in this ssh, wait for the crash to occur, and enter "bt full" in gdb. > 2) You asked: "Why are you using vesa instead of radeon ?" > > This is because the Radeon driver never worked even once on this > machine.

But you have a Radeon X600, it is supposed to work very well. You should really try again... Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
