Sorry, I had read this briefly and thought you said to not use the
"intel" Xorg driver. I have intelfb built into my kernel. So I used
"video=intelfb:off", I think that does the same thing.
I have been using this for a while and the crash does not seem to
re-occur. The crash is not consistent, so I can not fully know if the
problem is gone or just more rare. I have started and stopped X about
20 times. Usually, it would occur after 4-5 attempts and rarely about
10 (with the intelfb in use on ttys).
Interestingly, I also had the crash while starting X from a frame
buffer using intelfb.
My text consoles are now very small, but I don't have any crashing.
Let me know if you want any more information or testing.
Regards,
Bill Pringlemeir.
