I also have problem 1), though I guess I've managed to disable xscreensaver so
X does its built-in blanking thing (with no power saving =( ).

To crash X:
startx
ctrl-cmd-F1

Poof. All gone. If you have xdm set up, xdm reloads (and takes you to vc 7
from wherever you wanted to go in the first place). I'm using platinumfb. Is
anyone else out there able to use virtual consoles without X crashing?

Well, I switch on and off all the time (I have 6 console VT's and 2 X
VT's). I used to get palette problems, but not since I applied anthony
tong's patch and rebuilt X. It never died (well, it did in my cobbled
pre-R5, but not in the released LinuxPPC 1999).

I see. What video driver are you using? Yann, you too? As I mentioned, I'm
using platinumfb on a PowerCenter 132. I'm wondering if it's the driver. I
just got Mark Abene's updated driver but haven't had a chance to try it yet
(and won't for the rest of the week). For those of you who want to see if it
fixes anything, I've put it up at
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~hollis/platinumfb.c

I have problem 2), but when I'm disabling xscreensaver! I'm using R5 (final) on
UMAX J700 with an IMS TwinTurbo 128 (2 Mb VRAM) . Power saving does not work in
either ways.

BTW, is anybody knows which arguments to give (for BootX) if I want to remove the
"No video driver" options? I've tried a few combinations (like
video=imsttfb:vmode:17,cmode:16), but even the console is almost unusable. I think
that the only to use the IMS is to check that "No video driver" option.

I'm assuming you mean something along the lines of

$ xset s off

Does X have a built in blanking thing other than that?  Or is it an Apple hardware
thing?

I can switch consoles o.k. I'm on a pb3400c so I guess that makes me chips65550fb
(?).  If I put the machine to sleep for any significant period of time, X dies.

Is this just an xfree problem or is it in xpmac also?

Hollis,
I have the platinumfb too (7200), and I read your message, tried it and
bang, x
was down.  I recompiled the kernel with the new driver (I didn't get it
from your site it was mailed to me) and it is ok now.  I never had this
problem before with fvwm and accel X , maybe it is a Xpmac & the driver?

Unfortunately no. What would be the advantages if I don't get accelleration? Do you
have ans IMS TwinTurbo card?
