Hi,
Since a year, I used a Elsa Gloria L/MX with the linux 2.4.19 kernel
without any trouble. After switching to srm console (alpha specific),
the graphics adapter was not longer recognized and I changed the Gloria
to an old S3 virge card. I reconfigured X and startet X with startx. All
what happens is, that the screen is going black, after some seconds I
see some color pixels, and ... nothing else. The kernel hangs. I have to
reset the board. I tried the 2.2.xx linux kernel with success. Has
anyone an idea, was the reason for this is and how to fix it? -- One
time, I got a softreset and the board was rebooting after I started X
with the S3 virge driver. In this case I got ECC-error msgs from the
kernel. I suppose that the driver sets some registers. But not the
registers of the graphics adapter! And this causes the kernel hang
Best regards
Harald
