Now it doesn't exit with an error, it just hangs, requiring a hard reboot. Looking at the XFree86.0.log file it seems to be hanging on the ati probe step, suggesting that it finds the device finally. Previous lines inform of reassigning pci memory overlaps, but there are no errors. Maybe if I tried your config file and modified for my ati driver? Jon ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
