The server output is very non-verbose by default since 4.2.0, use the -verbose command line option to increase the level of verbosity.

This is as far as it gets: (gdb) run Starting program: /home/kiza/work/r200-branch/xc/xc/programs/Xserver/XFree86 XFree86 Version 4.2.0 (DRI trunk) / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 18 January 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.

(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Sun Jul 7 15:09:13 2002 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config" And here the system locks up. So it looks like the crash is happening very early or the complete output didn't make it over the network. I installed on top of the 4.2.0 release. Anything else I could try? Otherwise I think I'll just wait a bit until the driver is a bit older, since the owner of the computer where I'm testing it isn't exactly happy if I crash the system regularly. ;) If the DRI module is not loaded in XF86Config X comes up without problems. So there shouldn't really be a problem?

As Keith said, this won't help much if your system is hanging. You can carefully crawl up to the edge of the cliff, but you don't know where the edge is :-) Each time you fall, you need to reboot and possibly fsck depending on your file system. Perhaps it's better for you to wait until the driver is more stable. -- /\ Jens Owen/ \/\ _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /\ \ \ Steamboat Springs, Colorado --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Got root?

I will try that later (or tomorrow) when I have access to that computer again. Unfortunately it's not mine. :) All I can say about this crash now is that the system just locks up.
