I've been unable to report the bug on the vesa driver - Launchpad won't let me report any new bugs!
BTW this system is set up to triple-boot into XP, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD 7.1. I just set up Xorg and Gnome on the FreeBSD partition - and the vesa driver on that behaves the same way - the system locks up on exiting from Gnome. I haven't tried the savage driver on that system, if it has one. On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 6:22 PM, Peter Belew<abcru...@gmail.com> wrote: > Tormod - installing your savage driver solved the problem.
