Doesn't sount like an XFree86 problem to me, sounds like a text-mode problem. ;-) Seriously, does it work in text mode *before* switching to graphic mode? And what exactly do you mean by "system locks up"? Does it respond to ping? telnet/rlogin/ssh? If you can log into it, look around at what's running (e.g., top(1)) for clues about what went wrong. -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
