Any suggetstion?
I have the same problem (for the last few years, using both open & closed source radeon drivers). The last time I looked for a fix it involved building a special initrd to allocate memory manually (or something like that). I'd love an easier fix if it exists. PS. Can you Shift+PageUp/Down when in console? I can't and assume that this is related. -- Regards, Mick
