I am running XFree86 Version 4.2.0 on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop with an
ATI
Rage Mobility M4 video card and a 1600x1200 UXGA LCD display.
Occasionally,
when switching to a virtual console (CTRL-ALT-F1, CTRL-ALT-F2, etc.) or
when
attempting to shutdown, the screen will slowly fade to an all white color
and the
system will become unresponsive. The only way to recover is to perform a
hard
reset of the machine.
I have a friend that is experiencing the same problem and have come across
numerous posts on newsgroups and forums from others experiencing this
problem as well. However, I have not been able to find a cause or the
solution.
I have noticed that the problem does not seem to occur when running in the
native
laptop resolution of 1600x1200. It only occurs when trying to run at a
different
resolution - in my case, 1280x1024. Unfortunately, I need to be able to
run at this
lower resolution.
I have included what I believe to be the relevant sections of my XF86Config
file.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
