The other possibility I can think of is that your kernel has been locked down hard enough that userspace isn't allowed to access I/O ports. CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM might be guilty here. There's not been any changes in either xserver 1.20 or vesa 2.4.0 that should cause this, though. - ajax _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
