Mebius MP 50G black screen on X
After having run my Sharp Mebius MP 50G successfully for a while with
Woody, and then Sarge, I recently installed Etch Beta 1, but can't
get X working. When I try to startx, it doesn't bounce back out, but
just goes into a black screen, after which I can't shut X down with my
keyboard.
The default install seems to be xserver-xorg, and so I ran through
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
a couple of times, trying different screen resolutions, turning frame
buffering on and off, but with no changes in the results.
The graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500, which is recognized
when installing x-windows.
I upgraded to unstable, and retried everything, but the results were
the same.
I can get it working with Knoppix (and I suppose I can revert to my
old Sarge installation if necessary), but I'd prefer to run a straight
Debian system with Etch, and if possible, Sid.
Any suggestions?
