I've had a very similar experience. I loaded the vnc.so module and
immediately after attaching a viewer the machine locked up hard. It
didn't respond to console input (Ctl-Alt-Backspace) or network traffic
(ping, ssh).
The system is Redhat 9 with a Radeon 7000 card:
According to lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon VE QY (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: PC Partner Limited RV100 QY [Sapphire Radeon VE 7000]
Flags: bus master, stepping, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
I/O ports at 9000 [size=256]
Memory at ec020000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: <available only to root>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]$ rpm -q XFree86
XFree86-4.3.0-2
[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]$ rpm -q vnc
vnc-4.0-0b4
Is there any other information I could provide that would help to
diagnose this?
Should I go out and buy another video card?
Thanks,
John Salmon
