Only two modes - successfull and gui cursor + blinking text cursor together. I have tryed to gather more informations and I have discovered, that gdm is repetitively trying to start Xorg, but it fails and fills log with this:

Text mode is working. I have tested starting Xorg from console. First start fails, but it loads radeon module.

I have added radeon to /etc/modules (before fbcon module) and now gdm started (I have tryed it twice). Console is switched to higher resolution before gdm. This solves my problem. It seems, that there is some race condition issue in kernel. > Hope that helps, > Jonathan -- Jezz mail: j...@hkfree.org jabber: j...@njs.netlab.cz
