Title: RE: [XFree86] XFree crashes ...

Dear Alex,

 

First thanks for your help! Well honestly I do not know how to disable that module, I looked in XF86Config but couldn't find anything relating to DRI/DRM. I did disable a few things I found in there though (dbe,type1,freetype) but that didn't seem to help. Should I post my XF86Config file?

 

I forgot to mention that X once did start up when I had my laptop in a docking station - the only thing that didn't work 100% was the resolution. However I have taken it out since I don't use the docking station - I only needed it to install Gentoo ...

 

I now saw in the log file that there are dozens of other modules loaded during startup - should and can I try to disable some of them (even though I didn't find them in the XF86Config file)?

 

Thank you!

 

Ingmar.

do you see any chance for disabling DRI/DRM module loading
and so letting the card run with less hardware support?
