However, you would need to either attach to the XFree86 process with gdb, or kill it (with SIGSEGV or SIGQUIT) and run gdb on the resulting core to find our for certain. Perhaps Alan has some ideas about what is going wrong here. Does the "vesa" driver still work OK? >I tracked the problem on the i810 driver module; and noticed that it >appeared with the i915M support (CHANGELOG 252 - 01/09/2005). > >I noticed some built-in modes detection changes, and a problem with HW >(ARGB) cursor allocation (full log attached): The ARGB cursor requires kernel agp support for allocating more than one page for AGP_PHYS_MEMORY requests. From what Alan said when this I asked about this on the devel list a couple of weeks ago, recent Linux kernels have the necessary support for this. The NetBSD (and FreeBSD) agp modules would need similar updates in order for this to work. I doubt that the problem you are seeing is related to this though.
