I forgot to mention, I have an AGP All-in-Wonder Radeon (R100) and a PCI 7000 as well. I didn't get a hard lock the first time I tried it, just an infinite loop of some sort, so it managed to write a log file: <a href="http://s88382932.onlinehome.us/files/Xorg.0.log-aticvs"> http://s88382932.onlinehome.us/files/Xorg.0.log-aticvs</a> my config: <a href="http://s88382932.onlinehome.us/files/xorg.conf">http://s88382932.onlinehome.us/files/xorg.conf</a> --Ricky <div> On 3/16/06, Ricky Rivera <<a href="mailto:ricky.rivera@gmail.com">ricky.rivera@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div style="direction: ltr;">I am actually having the exact same problem.
