I suspect that's not the change you made that caused the bug to go away. I see you also changed "UseFBDev" to "false". You had it on in your original configuration: (**) R128(0): Option "UseFBDev" "true" (==) R128(0): RGB weight 565 (II) R128(0): Using 6 bits per RGB (8 bit DAC) (**) R128(0): Using framebuffer device (II) Loading sub module "fbdevhw" (II) LoadModule: "fbdevhw" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libfbdevhw.a (II) Module fbdevhw: vendor="The XFree86 Project" compiled for 4.3.0.1, module version = 0.0.2 ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6 (--) R128(0): Chipset: "ATI Rage 128 VR RL (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x524c) (--) R128(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xe4000000 (--) R128(0): MMIO registers at 0xe9000000 Symbol xf86ForceHWCursor from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved!

Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting Please try reverting to the "ati" driver, but leaving "UseFBDev" set to false. Does the bug stay gone? -- G.
