System dies after logging out of an X session

2003-01-30 Thread Marcin Chady
Hello,

I've just installed  Debian 3.0 on my new PC and I'm having a dreadful time
with X.

I had to install the drm-trunk-module-src_2002.12.05-5_all.deb and
xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk_2002.12.05-4_i386.deb from
http://dri.sourceforge.net for my Radeon 9000, which seems to have gone ok
since I do get the Xserver up, I can login through various display managers
and run things like kde or twm. However, whichever configuration I use, the
system crashes when I log out. Or to be precise, it becomes non-responsive.
The keyboard and screen go dead, and I can only bring it back to life
through a hard reboot, after which fsck reports that the file system had not
been cleanly unmounted.

The log files don't shed any light on the problem. I tried putting echo
commands in various X startup scripts, but that didn't give me any useful
info either. The system simply goes to x-session-manager or whatever session
is chosen, and never emerges from it.

I include the bottom part of XFree86.0.log, as the whole file is a bit long.

I would appreciate any help. Please CC me in the message, as I'm not
subscribed to the list.

Thanks Nicos and Michel,

Disabling dri has done the trick. BTW, I'm not that familiar with dri. What
functionality have I lost by disabling it?

chrony and local time

2000-07-10 Thread Marcin Chady
I recently installed chrony, but it seems to be setting my clock to GMT
rather than local time, i.e. it's one hour late compared to UK's current
time. My Linux was installed with the hardware clock set to local time,
because it shares the machine with Windows. How do I tell chrony about this?
