My machine also freezes completely when I try the new X. I have the same card, the CT65555, in my Transmonde laptop, and the machine dies when I run startx or "/etc/init.d/xdm start". It does successfully run X -probeonly. The programs dexter, X -configure, and xf86config all run without error, but the config files they produce all cause my machine to freeze. (The xf86cfg program itself locks up the machine too.) I've also tried various manual tweaks to the config file, e.g. NoAccel, UseVclk1, noBitBlt, noMMIO, etc, but I still get consistent crashes. So, two questions: 1) Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this? 2) What's the easiest way to downgrade to the old version X? Incidentally, a brief attempt to get the new svga driver to work failed as well. I've attached the output from "X -probeonly -verbose 9" and one version of the various XF86Config files that I've tried. Note that I have to specify my chipset explicitly, or X thinks I have a ct69000 for some reason. But I also tried letting X think that, and it still crashes. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
