Description Steve Brenneis 2004-09-21 17:22:36 UTC 
I am attempting to use Xorg 6.7.0 on my Linux 2.4.26 system. The system is
running on a dual 800 MHz Pentium-III Intel motherboard with 1GB of memory. The
video card is an ATI Radeon 64MB DDR (Radeon 7200). My kernel has MTRR support,
ATI agpgart support, and DRI support for the Radeon built in.

Xorg -configure generated the xorg.conf file attached. This file works fine as
is and startx starts a 640 x 480 desktop (I'm using fluxbox window manager). I
can add a "DefaultDepth 24" to the screen section and all is still well.
However, if I add a Modes line to the 24depth section that has anything other
than "640x480" in it, the system hangs. The system and kernel logs do not
indicate a kernel panic (or anything else, for that matter). The system appears
to simply stop. I have tried changing the video driver to "radeon" with the same
result and I have also tried using the 16-bit color depth, same result. This
happens when running X directly or from startx.

This appears to be similar to Bug #1384, but the hang occurs at a different
location. Logs will be attached.

hmm, i think i have the same problem here.

running gentoo linux, xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1

u can try the following:

comment out the 

Load "dri"

line in your config. now you should be able to startx.

i haven't figured out what the problem is because i switched over from 64bit to
32bit and now it doesn't work any more. weird because on 64bit i was running the
same x-version ....
