because two different drivers driving the same hardware never mixes. Is that hard to understand? radeonfb f*s around with the hardware behind the X drivers back and the X driver f*s around behind radeonfb's back. Both don't know what the other one does. Result: crash. That is not a kernel problem. This is a 'two drivers access the same hardware' problem. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
