Hi.
I'm using the XFree86 3.3 SVGA server with my diamond 3D3000 video card
with 4 megs of VRAM, and I can only "startx" once. That is, if I exit
X, and type "startx" again on the console, the screen goes black and the
machine hangs. CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and the Vulcan Nerve Pinch have no
effect whatsoever and my only recourse is to press the reboot button on
the front of the machine.
Today I downloaded the XF86_SVGA 3.3.1 binary from ftp.xfree86.org and
installed it; the behavior is the same. I've found, however, that if I
keep *both* servers around and switch back and forth between them (by
renaming one to something else and naming the one in use XF86_SVGA), I
can "startx" as many times as I please.
Any clues?
Also, the /tmp/.X11-unix/X0= file still exists when I exit X, and I have
to manually rm it. This doesn't affect the locking up tho ...
Thanks.
Will
