My relevant xorg.conf sections look like this: Section "Device" Identifier "truei810" Driver "i810" VideoRam 131072 # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "truei810" Monitor "glare" DefaultDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x800" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection > If all X-related processes are gone, can you restart the X > server?

However, Xorg.0.log shows the following: Error in I830WaitLpRing(), now is 551900, start is 549899 pgetbl_ctl: 0x3ffc0001 pgetbl_err: 0x0 ipeir: 0 iphdr: 1810000 LP ring tail: fe08 head: fd64 len: 1f801 start 0 eir: 0 esr: 0 emr: ffff instdone: ffc0 instpm: 0 memmode: 108 instps: f0000 hwstam: ffff ier: 0 imr: ffff iir: 0 space: 130900 wanted 131064 FatalError re-entered, aborting lockup Does that "space" line indicate that I'm running out of shared memory?

I tried to reproduce the problem using a Linux live CD, but I couldn't get one that plays mpg or wmv files.

When running "who" from a remote login the additional logins show up. Unfortunately vidcontrol doesn't help. All that ever happened was that the screen went from all white to all black. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka markus.hoenicka@cats.de (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de
