--- Comment #16 from andreas bittner
You said you can start X without UseAtomBIOS when you boot the machine with another machine selected at your KVM. Right? - Does this 'boot the machine' also include starting the Xserver or do you have to do this by hand?
up til the situation without the atombios being enabled, i could start the whole machine only when being switched away to a different machine on the kvm switch. i was waiting a few minutes and only then switching back to the linux machine. this way using the radeonhd driver it seemed to be always succeeding in setting a resolution and outputting pixels via the vga port. so yes, i arrived normally at runlevel5 being presented with the kde logon screen. but as soon as the kvm switch was activated during the whole bootprocess it never managed to activate the graphics. it was completely black (then the screen going into powerdown mode as it apparently didnt receive any pixels), or there were occasions when the xserver terminated and i arrived at the alt+f1 screen with the suse bootup log messages. please see my postings about when which situation occurred.
If I read everything correctly your Xserver starts fine always when you use UseAtomBIOS, is this correct?
yes, with radeonhd and useatombios enabled, it always works, no matter what the kvm switchport was being set to/activated. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
