The machine is a P100, IDE (I know, I know. :), 64Mb ram, ATI Mach64 video card. I can run X -probeonly without ill effects, but the minute I actually attempt to 'startx', the screen blanks, the system thinks for a minute, the screen goes in to power saver mode, and the system falls flat on its face and reboots itself. Obviously, I didn't have any problems under -release. I'm using the same kernel configuration file as I was before; the only thing that has changed was a 'make world'. It's 3.1.2E of the Mach64 X server. Any suggestions from the X gurus out there? As much as I love text-only... it's rather irksome, to say the least. The rest of the system is functioning perfectly, of course. Just not X. -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.
