2.4.[56] kernel + xfree 4.1.0

2001-07-04 Thread Justin Guyett
After upgrading to xfree 4.1.0, after switching back to the console after starting X, suspending, and resuming, the text-mode terminals are corrupt (but look like they're in text mode). There were some messages in the XFree lists about X no longer restoring previous graphics state (since it has

framebuffer compile failure in 2.4.7-pre1

With apic enabled on this board, some normal amount of disk access (including building a kernel) is successful. However, irqs are messed up. The eepro100 module for the onboard 82559 nic loads, but prints this after the revision history: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:07.0.
