So the previous kernel was also a 2.4.18 release? > Trying out some different settings of the XF86Config-4 file with: > > dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 > > I found the only working driver was the "fbdev" driver, needing no System > RAM, but needing /dev/input/mice. Did fbdev work with the old kernel also? I suspect your new kernel doesn't fix the problem but rather found an old way to bypass the problem (Michel: does X mangle the PCI resources only with the aty driver, or does this happen with fbdev as well?)
