Things now seem to have stablizied somewhat after I turned on a 1024x768x16M |
| 21 |
vesa framebuffer for the console. Now it only hangs like that when I press |
| 22 |
Fn+F5, the hotkey for switching between the builtin and external screeens. |
| 23 |
Still I wouldn't call it completely stable. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
But I've just found out another possible cause; I compiled agpgart into the |
| 26 |
kernel instead of as a module, and now I can't use NVAGP althuogh I want to. |
| 27 |
So I'll switch that and see if it helps. |
