I use XFree86 in my Debian system with success, but eventually the
system hangs when I switch the resolution using the C-M-+ / C-M-- combinations, when I
switch from text to X (and vice-versa) or, when I login from gdm to some X session
(and vice-versa).
I couldn't find any relation with anything (time of use, process or
program executed, etc.). Sometimes it hangs in the initialization,
before showing the gdm screen.
When it hangs, I can't use Ctrl-Meta-Backspace to shutdown the X server.
Nothing seems to work. It just freezes and I can see only a black
screen. And whe I restart the system it has to check all the mounted
filesystems. It's terrible.
More info about my system:
- I use a Jaton Video-107 PCI video card (Trident Blade3D chipset).
- The monitor is a Sony Multiscan 15sfII
- I used XFree86 3.3.6 and updated to 4.1, but the problem wasn't solved.
Here is a copy of my XF86Config file (at least the most important
sections, I think):
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "SNY"
ModelName "0"
HorizSync 31.0-64.0
VertRefresh 50-120
DisplaySize 275 205
Gamma 2.86
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Device "trident"
VendorName "Trident"
BoardName "Blade3D"
BusID "PCI:0:9:0"
EndSection
Thanks,
Luciano Schirmer
