[2.2-970225-GAMMA] Default kernel with all but the following disabled: Floppy drive - default settings IDE controller wd0 - default settings 3com 3C509 - default settings Parallel port 0 - default settings Serial ports 0 and 1 - default settings Syscons driver - default settings On a DX2/66 w/ 256K cache, 32M RAM, Diamond Stealth VRAM S3 86C924 card w/ 1M VRAM, SS2410 RAMDAC and icd2061a clockchip with the S3 server and icd clockchip selected with xf86config, changing from the server to the first or second virtual console generated a "XF86_S3 server pid [x] tried to use SYSVSHM". Changing back to the X server, and then back to VC1 causes the X server to hang in a state where changing console, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Alt-Delete don't work. Using a basic install of 2.1.7-RELEASE with the X server stuff from 2.1.5-RELEASE (XFree 3.1.2-S I think) with kernel and X configured in exactly the same way, this doesn't happen. I suspect either: a) Default kernel w/ 2.2-GAMMA doesn't have support for SYSVSHM in it, where earlier versions e.g. 2.1.7-RELEASE did. b) XF86_S3 that comes with 2.2-GAMMA (XFree 3.2) demands support for SYSVSHM and/or doesn't have the support built in. Cheers, Martin
