Description Miguel Angel 2004-09-12 17:30:11 UTC
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.

Xorg.conf for vesa driver

Xorg.conf for radeon driver is the same, using radeon driver, of course ;-)
