Yes, it hangs without Xinerama too. I don't enable the font server anymore since I found it messes with Xinerama (I already reported it to this list a while ago). The problem "feels" like a wrong setting in some kind of PCI register or such, because the display is either garbled or blanked, the mouse pointer is garbled, and the computer stops instantly (if there was a disk access, the led stays on, so no more interrupts) What's the RAC ? I gather it is some kind of arbiter between vga cards. If I'm right, why does the bug happen when I configure X to only use the boot gfx card (i.e. the second card isn't even initialized) ? Perhaps I should try to physically remove the second card ... _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
