Hi, after upgrading my IBM T42 with ati radeon M10/9700) to 7-release via freebsd-update (which went very well), and running portsnap+portupgrade -afP, I tried starting xorg. This results in a complete freeze of the machine, no Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, changing terminals or anything else works. I can start xorg as root with the 'vesa' driver. However, any config in xorg.conf with the 'ati'/'radeon' driver causes a freeze. Mostly, it will freeze with either a black screen (backlight on), or simply freeze after printing (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". I have tried disabling glx, dri, setting NoAccel and AGPMode to "1". Nothing seems to work. The funny thing is that neither /var/log/messages or /var/log/Xorg.0.log has any mention at all of any problems, let alone that I even started Xorg. Also, using xorg 7.2/7.3 in 6.2-release and 6.3-release did not seem to cause any problems. I am at loss to what would be the cause. Will gladly post xorg.conf (generated by Xorg -configure, changed keyboard), and any logs necessary. Hope for quick reply, Best Regards, //Torgeir
