USB hub and USB hub in keyboard. 1. Just plain Xfree 4.0.2 with xinerama works stable, just gets killed by memory-hogging netscape. 2. framebuffer leads to hardlock sometimes quite soon. whatever, ati or matrox. Looks like at VT switch. No way to debug, 3. I have here second patched Xfree, got someones patch and rebuilt rpm, to support USB keyboard. the box crashes also without it. It looks like all places where VT switch may occur, are commented out from xfree. Without framebuffer, everything works, but vt switch still occurs and only one X is usable... first X stalls until second gets killed and then works again. sometimes I can even switch between them from console. Does the console input trigger console switch... dont understand. strace doesnt show anything ... looks like two copies of X talk each other via shared memory or something... elmer. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
