It is possible that drm is waiting for resources, but I'm doubtful that drm is the real problem. It sounds like the screen is going black when X attempts to start. You could try disabling drm in your Xorg.conf and see it that helps. (Option "DRI" "off" in the device section). Do all of the drm messages appear on the console before it hangs? I'm most suspicious of the acpi errors/warnings, but that isn't an area that I have experience with. robert. > Peace, > david --=-V3bPruXmfCyNJV4cmUwu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAklaZ90ACgkQM4TrQ4qfRON/LwCfZtKj97OkmGbrrUwzvgluMZsq pG4An0ZF1GU2Q66UwZJHD9SjloN5v/KG =X0Et -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-V3bPruXmfCyNJV4cmUwu--
