Nice! > I've just done a bk pull from linus and build a new kernel (was using post rc2 before) and now this nice scheme (see above) fails to work: When I 'startx', the X log complains about no core keyboard, my usb keyboard stops responding and both screens go blank. I can only get access by ssh from another machine. Nothing changed other than kernel; using same .config. If I boot on rivafb console instead of matroxfb, startx and keyboard work fine. Before I start hunting down the problem; Do any recent changes spring to mind?
