Hi, My friend is running XFree86 4.2.0 - it is a basic redhat7.3 dist.
We installed a dual headed Appian Permedia3 card recently, and all was going well - both heads up and running and the decent config recorded in /etc/xf86config - until we rebooted. Basically, the whole machine freezes the first time X is started UNLESS X is first 'bootstrapped' by starting with "X -configure". After this, switch to runlevel 5 and all is well. I imagine that the probing X does to autoconfigure must set some things on the card which the standard X driver doesn't do. Has anyone else come across this, and is there a fix? Thanks, Oli _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
