To follow up: This is _NOT_ Mandrake specific - I compiled X4.2.0 myself this morning and still got the same results with theatre_drv causing hang time on cold boot.
In addition, with vanilla X I also had times where the entire top half of my display would blank and run CPU to 100%, causing me to have to restart X. So I guess I'll keep hammering Vladimir at gatos. Anyone else having this problem with the Radeon please join the gatos lists and show them the demand for fixing this problem. http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gatos-devel On Tuesday 03 September 2002 04:15 pm, Jason Straight wrote: > I don't know the real fix, but the best I've found so far is to rename > theatre_drv.o in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/multimedia so X won't load it.
