XFree86 woes

[Matthias Pirstitz]

Hi,

I've already tried the radeon driver and to disable dri and glx, to no
avail(sorry, I failed to mention that in my first post).

I don't seem to have a driver named "svga", or did you mean "vesa"?(I
have already tried the vesa driver as well, but it made X crash in a way
where no more keyboard input is accepted - I had to reboot by logging in
from another machine).

Thanks for your help,
Matthias
