Even when not starting X via xdm, the box crashes immediately, freezes and is only 'revivable' by cold resetting. This happens with driver radeonhd and enabled DRI. Without DRI the radeonhd driver works, but moving a window looks like on Windooze when using standard VGA driver without acceleration (this is bot with EXA on or off) - scrolling and moving objects is really choppy. 'radeon' doesn't even show up anything, freezes the box as well as 'radeonhd', but no matter whether DRI enabled or not. At home I will test radeonhd-devel with the RV770LE chipset (here I have only RV730). The RV770LE seems not to be recognized by 'radeonhd', but works fine with 'radeon'. But in both cases, DRI enabled crashes the box.home | help
