Hi, I'm experiencing the following behavior with the new X 4.0.1-3 running the "ati" X server:
Normally, the X server hangs and the screen goes blank somewhere during startup. However, if I bring down my ethernet connection first using "ifconfig eth0 down", X starts up normally and it doesn't hang. At the console, I can bring down my static IP address and use "pump" to set up a dynamic (DHCP) IP address with no problem (I have a laptop, so I don't always use my office static IP address). However, when I'm in X, the command "pump" also hangs. On leaving X the following message is sometimes shown on the console "eth0: Tx hang, 9 vs 0" After leaving X I still have problems with my ethernet connection, "pump" still fails. "pump" only works when I am not in X, or I haven't used X previously. So, I can use X, or have my ethernet connect up, but not both. My card is: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage P/M Mobility AGP 2x. This occurs with a 2.2.17 and 2.4.0test10 kernels. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Edgar.
