What I see from ps ux is that both my X session and window manager start, but (as you point out) the screen goes black. It's almost as if xset comes on and blanks the screen, immediately pursuant to the invocation of X, for this particular chip. > Thanks for any ideas I've no ideas. I've pondered and used google and the search function for the lists; no joy. I do note that there is a recommendation to use the gatos bits (gatos.sourceforge.net) if one wishes to use the multimedia capabilities of this chip; this occurs during the compile of Xorg and/or in the Xorg log. It doesn't seem to me that the multimedia capabilities of the card are relevant to the basic use of X for a windowing system. -- One million points of light shining on the new world-order model for fascism and tyranny.
