hi
i posted this the other day, but no response.
X was perfect under woody and 2.2.20. after installing both a custom
2.4.18 and the two latest kernel images, the same symptoms remain.
when you startx or let gdm start, the screen blanks, flickers and the
machine is totally hung. in my previous posting i thought there was a log
produced, however subsequent study reveals that not to be the case. nor
does startx 2>xlog produce anything. if i insert an error into
XF86config-4, then i get a normal failure and a log. since this
configuration works perfectly under 2.2.20, it looks like the problem must
be kernel-related. but using the stock kernel-image should take care of
dependencies.
from startup console near the end:
--nfs
PCIC module not defined in startup options!
--sshd
that's about the only complaint i can find... has something to do with
probing pci or pcmcia... message comes from /etc/init.d/pcmcia so i don't
think it is relevant..
clueless in new mexico
