Hi,
At school I maintain several systems with SiS 6236 video cards. I
upgraded to branden's 4.0.3 packages today, and three major problems
went away:
1. When you first start the X server, no images or text are drawn. You
have to switch to text-mode and back to get them.
2. After logging out of a session, gdm dies and you are stuck with a
blank screen. This happened with multiple versions of gdm AND one
version of kdm, and I'm pretty sure it started happening when I upgraded
to Xfree 4.0.x. This is now fixed too.
So, now these systems are usable :) Thanks guys!
The only remaining problem is the one with ssh-agent not running. The
gdm gnome session apparently does not respect commenting out
use-ssh-agent in Xsession.options, so you have to edit Xsession.options
and then fix /etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome.
finally! Everything works :)
