Hide Forgot
Using a clean installation of Pinstripe on the following hardware: Abit BP6 2x Celerons@600MHz 160Mb RAM Creative Banshee Hollywood+ MPEG2 decoder RTL8139 NIC SB Live The system boots fine, allows me to log on then run 'startx'. X Starts up, Gnome starts, and then the machine hangs. This *seems* to be happening when the gnome startup get to 'rm'? There's nothing in the X log, and the config file seems to be using the tdfx module, which I believe to be correct.
Additional: It may not be a gnome issue. gdm starts up fine and running kde from that also crashes. I've narrowed it down to one of 2 things: USB stuff Network stuff (there's currently nothing plugged into the network card) I've got it to run with modules for both rmmod'ed and khupd killed Booting 2.4.0-pre5 enables X to run fine.
Reassigning to kernel for the moment Does the USB and the graphics card share an IRQ line ?
This is a Voodoo Banshee XFree86 problem caused by X changing the video timing, however different Banshee cards use different timing and it is not easily possible to differentiate the different hardware. This is fixed in XFree86-4.1.0-0.9.11 in rawhide now by removing the code which handles video timing, and just leaving it to the BIOS default. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18810 ***
