Starting and closing one or two times a X server with the radeon driver prevents the X server with the vesa driver to start. I start a X server with driver radeon, close it (with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE), try to start a X server with driver vesa, sometimes works, sometimes not ("sometimes" being different reboots, not X server starts) . If I start and kill for a second time the X server with the radeon driver, the X server with the vesa driver will not start anymore until the machine is rebooted (fails with Fatal server error:no screens found). It always happens after killing the X server at least one time. If I start the X server with vesa driver on a second VT before killing the X server with the radeon driver running on the first VT, it will work. When the vesa driver fails, I tryed with other drivers (radeon, propietary ATI driver, fbdev) with no problem. I'm using xorg 6.8.0 precompiled rpms for suse linux 9.1. The hardware is a PC (athlon xp) with a Radeon 9200SE.
