no luck with AIC7890 and X-Windows

Hi,

I am really envious when reading all the success messages in this list.

I have an ASUS-mainboard with AIC7890 and an Ultra2 IBM disk. Also an IDE 
disk (where Red Hat 5.1 is installed) and Diamond V330 PCI-graphic card. 

I have tried pre6 and pre7 patches with 2.0.35-2 kernel and I can
mount the /dev/sda1 (even with vfat) when using console. But when 
I start X-Windows, everything hangs and I see just black screen.
X-Windows works fine with the same kernel w/o patches.

What could it be? Is there maybe some connection between PCI and SCSI? 
I tried disabling/enabling different SCSI BIOS options - no luck. 

So, please don't stop working on the AIC7XXX patch.

Greetings
Alex
