I'm getting ready to install MSR, and wanted to share this before I added MSR. After applying the patch, then exiting X, my graphics still appeared to be hung. Also, (I neglected to mention before) my monitor (CRT) says "Frequency too high" I continued on my way by ssh back into the board.  A few minutes later, the VESA screen saver (I have that enabled on my OS build) kicked in, and VESA reset the display. My console came back after the VESA screen saver displayed the image. Should I add a VESA reset into the driver when exiting? Don't know if that helps. I'm including my latest Xorg.0.log and my dmesg. I will now add the MSR. Larry PS:  I'm mailing this using a Windows e-mail client.  I'm not sure if the file formating is looking OK for you guys.  Please tell me the files are wordwrapped, and unreadable. PSS:  DOS CTRL/LF bit me on the avoid-idle.patch.  I had to use unix2dos to make the patch work, just an FYI for anybody else who uses a windows e-mail client to receive their mail ! :) Jordan Crouse wrote: <blockquote cite="mid20071220183542.GH4692@cosmic.amd.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On 20/12/07 10:17 -0800, Larry Maloney wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Jordan, So with the NoAccel True option placed inside the card section, my graphics work. :) </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Our worst fears realized. </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Everything isn't perfect though.

Your log shows the same sort of VGA interaction that we would expect. Avoiding acceleration doesn't really affect this one way or the other - if VGA is detected, then we probe - graphics be damned.
