The X server dies in this infinite loop and a black screen. Theo only way I found to get the screen back is to telnet into the box, kill -9 the X server, and launch Xpmac. This seems to restore the console system into a working state. I don't know what's up yet. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
