I am running 4.5 on a machine with an ATI Rage graphics card and an LCD monitor. This monitor is somewhat fussy about sync rates, and if presented with an invalid sync rate doesnt display a pictire but instead generates an error on the screen. 4.5runs fine, going into X also works and runs fine. The problem comes when I kill the X server. At this point I get a blank screen with an error on it saying that video card is generating an illegal video signal. Frustratingly I cant find out what this video sgnal is! Now I do not know if this is an X problem or a -stable problem. I am assuming taht once X has finished then BSD's graphics driver takes over again, so it should be this responsible for setting the mode back correctly ? Has anyone else seen this at all - its very odd indeed, and I havent seen it on any other machines (but then none have the ATI garphics card in them). -pcf.
