Yeah, still hangs hard. Trying the normal radeon driver together with Option "DRI" "False" as suggested to me in another mail did let X start up once, but set the screen to much darker colours (which also continued when exiting). Starting X another time again made the machine hang again. Thanks for the tip though. -- _ _ // \\// Eivind Evensen \/
