Hi all, While looking into bugzilla #76. The first thing you notice (if you are using an IBM thinkpad (w/ati radeon video)) is that when Xstarts it never fully comes up. I checked the xorg log and while it can see the video card it just stops!? Now on my Thinkcenter desktop with i810 integrated graphics it will start X. But when you kill X you just end up with a blank screen. The machine is not crashed .. but no way to use the console anymore. Rolling back to a changeset from June 9th using 2.6.11.11 kernel I have no problem getting Xorg up and going on my Thinkpad. I think something has gone wrong when switching to 2.6.12 or some Xen change between June9th & July 12th is causing this. Any ideas? -- Jerone Young IBM Linux Technology Center jyoung5@us.ibm.com 512-838-1157 (T/L: 678-1157) _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Any ideas?It would be great if you could do a ''binary chop'' between June 9 and July 12 to try and narrow the changeset down. I''m wandering if vm86 mode has been partially broken?

If the repository you were testing with was older than that (it was checked in about 6 hours ago) then it''s worth retrying with latest... -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
OK it looks like that fixed it....I must have pulled just before that went in.
