(Reading "man 4x savage" -> "UseBIOS" gives my the impression, that this is important for some mobile chips.) On Wed, Nov 17, 2004 at 05:43:02AM +0800, Antonino A. Daplas wrote: > > after boot.

(a remove "chvt 1" as root still worked). Exiting and than restarting XFree86 sometimes didn't initialize the screen correctly. While writing this email, my notebook locked up again hard and I had to powercycle it.
