Yes, that is one of the biggest problems when using the drivers from nvidia as well, i had a friend with the same problem as you had, he had the sis630 as well after disabling dri all was well. Too be honest i did not see or may have ignored your messages when you had that problem. I do however remember seeing something about dri in the sis doc's, in which doc, or where i saw it i cant remember so it is |possably" documented, altho' please dont quote me on that. > > Regards -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
