(You may have to re-mount the filesystem that contains these files with -o sync for them to contain all the output before the freeze). BTW, does this happen regardless of whether you start the X server with fglrx before? > And the external VGA connector was not plugged (i.e. not dual screens) That may not make a difference if you force MergedFB on. > ## Si hay problemas poner esta opcion en false > Option "EnablePageFlip""true" Have you tried following this advice? :) > Option "DynamicClocks" "true" > Option "BIOSHotKeys" "on" > Option "MergedFB" "true" Does not enabling any of these options make any difference?

Server aborting Looks like this is actually a bug in r200_dri.so, reassigning to libgl1-mesa-dri. Which version of that is installed? If it's the current one from sid, can you try rebuilding it with debugging symbols and get a backtrace with gdb? -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
