Hi, I tried video=ofonly and video=rivafb:noaccel, and the same result occurs.
Contrary to my first email, it seems related to the problem already seen on the list, of the framebuffer no longer being refreshed. I can still ping and ssh the system fine, but nothing I do makes the screen unfreeze. So, if you're locally on the system, you would think it has frozen completely. ie switching to and from X doesn't help at all (or rather trying to..!) Any clues as to the cause? My poor filesystem is suffering quite badly ;) David On Tuesday 17 February 2004 13:22, Benjamin Herrenschmidt wrote: > On Tue, 2004-02-17 at 12:36, David Pye wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I've got an Albook G4 12" powerbook (NVidia GFX) and I have been > > experiencing a number of hard crashes since installing the latest benh > > rsync'd kernel and Debian Sid (same result as a two day old benh rsync'd > > one).
