thinkpad 600, xfree 4
so, i just got my little tp600. seems sweet so far. nice size. great
looking screen.
but, i'm encountering a huge problem. i installed xfree86 4.02, and ran
through xf86config.
so, i can start with XFree86. everything worked as expected. so, i
installed blackbox. and changed my .xinitrc file. so, i startx. and
the fonts look all weird. they don't quite fit into where they belong...
which seems really weird to me. but, i figure i can fix it.
so, i right click to get a menu. everything locks. hard machine lock.
i can't get to another tty, and i can't kill x. it doesn't even finish
drawning the menu. this same weird occurance happens in icewm as well.
as soon as i do ANYTHING it just hard locks.
one thing i notice if i kill x (doing XFree86 to start it). i see...
(II) NEOMAGIC(0): Not programming shadow registers
does anyone have any suggestions? i've never had x cause a hard lock on
my machines before. so this just baffles me.
