I have a Dell Latitude C610 laptop running an ATI Radeon Mobility graphics card (which I know is unsupported at this time but supposed to run fine under VesaFB) with a 1.2 GHz Pentium 4. I'm using the Pentium optimized 2.4.10 kernel with SuSE 7.3, KDE2 and xfree86 4.1.0.
It boots up just fine and goes into kde with no problems. When I go to log out of kde it acts up. Sometimes it will log out just fine and some times it completely freezes up right after I hit OK at the confirmation box. When it does log out fine it brings me back to the login screen and if I try to shutdown it will hang there instead. However if I click reboot instead of shutdown it works fine. I have also tried using ctrl-alt-F4, logging in as root and shutting down the system from there. Sometimes it just freezes after I type in shutdown -h now, and sometimes it will freeze at "The system will be halted immediately". However if I type in reboot it will work fine. This is from a fresh install. I have not altered anything beyond setting the resolution to 1024x768x16, using VesaFB. This seems to be only when using X. If I start up and just use the old black command line interface than it will shutdown just fine. Is this just a simple case of an unsupported graphics card or is there something I might be missing? I'm fairly new to Linux so I don't know if there is a log anywhere that I can look at to see what it's doing. Also, a totally unrelated issue, maybe... The touch pad only works under Linux if the mouse is plugged in, but it works fine under Windows with or without the mouse. Ideas? _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
