Nope, I only get a black screen, requiring a hard reset. The log shows that X stopped after detecting the keyboard and mouse... the log also mentions that ChipID 0x5148 is an ATI FireGL 8700/8800.

I'm sorry, I must have been thinking of another failed attempt. This configuration corrupts the display, and can only be fixed by a hard reset. -- Nik Melchior Washington University GPG Key Fingerprint (see http://www.gnupg.org/): F824 BB7F 5424 04D0 0EBF 2AE7 7BB9 533C 380A 0462 _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
