I have been able to configure both high console resolution MODE_279 and X on the laptop, however I have noticed that this error turns up whenever I boot the system or restart X : drm0: port 0x9000-0x90ff mem 0xe8000000-0xefffffff,0xe0100000-0xe010ffff irq 9 at device 5.0 on pci1 info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.16.0 20050311 on minor 0 error: [drm:pid2557:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held error: [drm:pid2557:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 2557 using kernel context 0 After much googling and scanning of my system, I figured a quick way to get rid of the error message, by disabling dri in the xorg.conf. But that is not the only problem I discovered. I noticed that when playing music there is constant annoying repeating of the sound until the console displays. This only happens when switching from X to high resolution console. Switching back does not reproduce the problem. Incidentally, I deleted my xorg.conf and restarted the server in error and this cause Xorg to generate X using its own built in defaults. Consequently this solved the problem of the choppy repetitive music. Similarly, If I have a configured xorg.conf and I restart X after booting (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE) the problem goes away. I haven't been able to pin the problem down to discover how to get rid of the problem and still have a workable and have an xorg.conf without having to restart the X server. Can anyone share their thoughts ? Mervin McDougall ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
