(The r300g driver doesn't > work with KMS disabled) The user reports that he has tried to disable KMS by all these means: - Appending "nomodeset" to kernel line - Appending "radeon.modeset=0" to the kernel line - Appending "modeset=0" to the kernel line - Blacklisting radeon module to avoid from loading But all he gets is a system hang with the following message: *** Could not update ICEautorithy file /var/lib/gdm3/.ICEauthority Closing session *** And that's all. He's now stuck at there, forced to load his MacOS X partition in order to get the system up and running. > BTW, does the GNOME fallback mode end up using the same window manager > (Metacity?) with and without acceleration being enabled? I don't know... anyhow, now I have to help the user to restore back his Debian system to an operating state. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
