This probably has nothing to do with fai, but I'm getting desperate, and
there is a lot of wise poeple on this list, so here goes:
A have a lot of old computers with Radeon 9250 graphics (AGP). The have
worked just fine running sarge, but I can't get them to work with etch (using
the stock ati/radeon driver).
The screen goes black, the keybord freezes, and the X-server is unkillable. I
don't find any clues in the log files.
If I try the vesa driver everything works just fine, but thats unfortunately
not an option since some of the computers have 1680x1050 monitors (Samsung
215TW).
Any clues? Would the ATI priprietary driver work?
Answering my own question:
Commenting out the "dri" module fixed this problem. Probably has some
side effects but after working 18 hours without a break, and the labs
just a few hours away, I don't care if it may slow down something.
