I'm not sure that it's an *dm problem; I occasionally see *exactly* this (right down to the red-and-black stripes) when swapping vts from X to text mode. I'm running xserver-s3v version 3.3.2.3a-11 on a Stealth 3D 2000 card, but my recollection is that I had the same problem with xserver-svga with different hardware (but, I could be wrong; I hadn't characterized the problem at that time). Everything stops: ssh connections are hung, inbound pings time out, a hard reset is required. I would have logged a bug report but I wasn't sure it wasn't hardware, or that it was the XServer. Let me know if anything comes to light... John P. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Oh - I - you know - my job is to fear everything." - Bill Gates in Denmark
