I spoke too soon. I can't get it come up now. When I start the server in configure mode (using either X -configure or xorgcfg) the server doesn't make progress after 10 minutes or so. If I truss it I only see setitimer/clock_gettime/pollsys and nothing else. It looks like the i810 driver is no longer recognizing my 82Q965 chipset. It gets recognized when booting build 106, but not when booting build 109. I checked for related Xorg bugs on freedesktop.org, but nothing jumped out at me.
Does anyone have ideas for how to narrow this down more? If I'm running an unusual graphics device I can just go buy a cheapo card that's more mainstream. What's a good generic card for use with X.org, if I don't care about games or anything like that. I have a Sun 20.1 inch LCD with DVI and 1600x1200. My primary selector would be that the drivers for it don't break. ;-) --chris Chris Quenelle wrote: > John Martin wrote: >> Chris Quenelle wrote: >>> It seems like it might be similar to 6811422, but I'm having trouble >>> with the workaround for that bug. >> It's not.
