Yesterday i upgraded from bo to hamm. That went pretty well, but X broke. I ran out of disk space during the X upgrade, and i thought maybe that was the problem. I removed all the X packages and reinstalled on a roomier disk, hoping that would fix things. It didnt, X still doesnt work.
It worked fine with bo but when i start the server under hamm, my machine switches to video mode, blanks the screen, and stops talking to the console. The server output looks normal (looks like it's not aware there's a problem). I cant switch virtual consoles, i cant toggle numlock, but i can ping the machine and i can log in remotely. I can also reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Del. I'm using an old Orchid Fahrenheit 1280 card (S3 based). I can run the VGA16 server ok, but not the accellerated S3 server. Any ideas? I guess the transition from XFree86 3.3 to 3.3.1 broke support for my card... I'll go look at the XFree web site.
