Description stamm 2004-09-07 01:28:29 UTC
After switching from xorg-6.7.0 to xorg-6.7.99.904
I just get only a black screen and the green LED of my IBM P70 is flashing -
ALT+CTRL+Backspace brought me back to the console. With xorg-6.7.0 my Radeon
(R100 QD [Radeon 7200] AGP) works errorless.
I tested xorg-6.7.99.904 with an old s3virge (86c325 [ViRGE] PCI) and with this
adapter it works. (Both graphic-adapters are plugged in at the same time)
Maybe this problem is allready solved in the latest DRM-sourcecode which is not
included in xorg-6.7.99.904 or I´m wrong?
thx for your great work.

i've heard that, for some bizarre, reason, changing AGPMode to "2" or "4" fixes
this for some people.

I tried this like you said but for me still only a blackscreen

UPDATE:

When I plug off the monitor-cable and start xorg an plug it in afterwards it
works. It also works if I use another monitor.

I noticed that my monitor (P70) is recognized by xorg as 199b

Sounds like the display detection problem.
