Hello, I put Debian testing/sarge on a desktop PC with ATI Sapphire Rage 128 Pro and ran xf86config to get XF86 4.2.1 up, which correctly recognized the card and monitor and set the Device Driver to "ati". I'm using icewm-gnome on top of X. I now have X running with startx but not with xdm - xdm cycles through several X screens and blanks and then gives up. The xdm log as well as the XF86 log, contain errors like
(EE) R128(0): No DFP detected Symbol drmFreeBugs from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved! ... two more unresolved symbols .. What puzzles me is that startx apparently gets over this error but xdm crashes with X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) ... Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server. I tried replacing "ati" with "r128" for the Driver with no change. Of course, to add to my confusion, I cannot run startx as an ordinary user. Do I need an Xwrapper? Thanks so much for your help, Petr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
