Hi group, |

I did a full update including xfce-4.6.1. Then I installed the new |
4 |
kernel, 2.6.30-r7. Now when I $startx, Xfce4 opens beautifully, just |
5 |
as I left it. Background image, check; Icons, check; Panel, check. |
6 |
Terminal open and ready to use. But there's no mouse or kbd function. |
7 |
X has crashed :( |
8 |
|
9 |
Pushing the off button( it's an Asus 900A) bumps me back to the boot |
10 |
console and initiates a reboot. So dirs are properly unmounted except |
11 |
for /home and /var on an SD card, sdb1,2.. When the thing reboots |
12 |
there may or *may not* be complaints about those particular devices, |
13 |
not being found and so on. If they happen not to be mounted I mount |
14 |
them manually and everything seems to be OK. |
15 |
|
16 |
None of this happens when I boot the earlier, 2.6.29-r5 kernel. So, |
17 |
since there's only one set of conf files for X, I think it must be the |
18 |
new kernel that's at fault. Does that make sense? |

The desktop, like I say, opens completely. The tiny clock which turns |
21 |
into a cursor wiggles for an instant over the Xfce4 mouse logo at the |
22 |
start of the process but freezes in that spot when the desktoop is up. |
23 |
There must be something at the tail end of the process that happens or |
24 |
fails to happen that causes it to crash. The last line of Xlog says |
25 |
'(II) intel(0): Setting screen physical size to 270 X 150' which seems |
26 |
rather small. |
27 |
|
28 |
vga, acpi, kbd, fb and mouse options are identical in both kernels, 29 & 30. |
