Apparently. > I no longer get the message about TCL being disabled (that I got before > I compiled the kernel with modular Radeon support, and then upgraded the > module) but it hangs just the same.

It will have to be debugged on one of those machines. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
