(Please cc me on replies. I'm not subscribed to this list.) Hi, A few days ago I posted my problem (see below for the original question) on the debian-amd64 list. Unfortunately, the one reply I got from that post did not work out; it suggested commenting out the dri in X86Config-4. I also tried without the kernel framebuffer support. Without success. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2004/07/msg00341.html for the entire thread. In addition to what I posted there I have also updated the bios of the p650 but that did not help either. Has any one of you an idea what else I may try to get this card to work with a 64-bit vesa-driver? Any hint at what I could look into? regards, Thomas ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: problem running X11 Hi, I'm trying to get x11 to run on my machine but whatever I try to do it completely locks up and I have to reset it. My machine has an Asus K8V SE deluxe, A64 3200+ and a Matrox P650. Since the latter has no working amd64-compatible driver I'm trying to get it to work with the vesa-driver. The system is installed with a d-i daily image from debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/install-image dated 20040724 (I've also tried almost all others of the past week but all have the same result on x11) and that seems to work out fine. At one point I thought it could be the known problem of a PS/2 mouse and kernel 2.6.7 but moving my mouse to USB and using kernel 2.6.6 also resulted in a complete lockup. I've also tried to get it to run with a known working XF86config-4 from an i386 install (the only other difference being that it uses a 2.6.5 kernel) but that one results in a lock-up too. Does anyone have any idea what I may have done wrong? Or has anyone got an idea of what else I could try to do to get X working? I've attached my config and log from the last try. I was on a cleanly installed system running the default kernel (2.6.7) and my mouse stuck in a usb-port. regards Thomas
