You didn't complain about, when I announced this in the according bugreport. A driver with limitations is better than a non-working driver. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Well, well, is there a way to overcome the limitations ? No. fbdev is a very limited driver.

Programmer 2007-11-09 10:33:23 MST --- In Comment #1 you mention: "A driver with limitations is better than a non-working driver." Which is acceptable as a workaround until the initial problem is fixed, but in no way as a permanent solution. So probably we should pick up from here again and get a fix in place ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Programmer 2007-11-09 11:31:28 MST --- Not really :-( But I had set driver to intel for quite a while, since the crashes occurred only during logout / shutdown. Alas this did not enable 3D. Also crashes would occur rather infrequently only the garbled display was there on every logut / shut down. Since updating to cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586) Alpha0 VERSION = 10.3.1 recently, it appears that the crashes have ceased. At least I don't see any garbled screens, switching to tty1 with CTL+ALT+F1 is clean too. My suggestion is to set the driver to the full featured state and watch the situation. If it gets critical again, I can always go to the fbdev driver manually. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
