Check to see if your DM is restarting the x server on each logout, or continuing to use the same X session. The latter has become the default, which caused exactly what you are describing (screen, i/o, sometimes complete system hang on logout) with the Number 9 Revolution cards I was using, as well as some Fujitsu tablets, none of which were using DRI/DRM. The solution was to configure it to kill and create a new X session on each logout. for XDM: xdm-config.kcco:DisplayManager*terminateServer: true for GDM: AlwaysRestartServer=true I don't use KDM, but I'm sure something similiar exists for it as well. This fixed the problems I was having with the Number 9 cards, and with some Fujitsu tablets, running X 4.0 - 4.2.1 (I have not yet had occasion to try 4.2.99.4 or later on any of those devices), so it may be worth a try. Good luck, Jean. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
