Hi,
i have compiled&installed XFree86 4.3.0 (gcc 3.2.1, kernel 2.4.20)
It works quite well with DRI disabled, it works well with DRI enabled using=
=20
old kernel modules (eg: an old dri snapshot or the gatos for x 4.2.0 ones)=
=20
but it lock if i use the kernel modules given with XFree86 4.3.0.

I moved to xc/programs/Xservers/..../os-support/linux/kernel
and did make -f Makefile.linux
then removed old r128*.o form my modules dir and put there the new ones.

When i start X with bpp > 8 it clear the screen, goes to the right video mo=
de=20
and then leavwe me with a black screen and locks. CTRL+ALT+FX does not work=
,=20
i cannot ssh into it (no other pc networked to it).
This happen with every depth DRI accelerated i tried (16,24)=20
if i disable DRI or choose 8bpp it works (with no DRI enabled).

The /var/log/XFree86* says nothing (i think the computer chrash BEFORE writ=
ing=20
anything to them or flushing cache to disk)
I have also tried startx > x.out with again, the outoput file is never writ=
ten=20
on disk.



I will download the new gatos drm-kernel for x 4.3.0 and try with it.

anyway, using the old kernel modules gives me plenty of broken textures in =
UT=20
:(

bye!
