I saw what seemed to be a similar problem with my miroVideo 20SV card. I installed an additional I/O card (with 2S/1P/1G), and I found that the machine hung just as xdm would have started. The miroVideo uses a S3 968. Of course, without the additional card, it boots just fine. Is this likely to be the same problem? -- Steven grady@xcf.berkeley.edu "Why is there a watermelon there?"
