Re: [suse-xfree86] compiling the kernel makes X go crazy
and/or that the relevant DRI module is build and is working (if you're using DRI).
How can I check this (and how do I know if I'm using DRI)?
I see you use swsuspend. From their pages at http://swsusp.sourceforge.net/status.html DRI doesn't work since it doesn't have support for power management. That said, when you're using DRI, you can see it in /var/log/XFree86.0.log : in there, there's usually a message about DRI enabled, or DRI failed to load. Besides, to actually have X trying to load the DRI module, in /etc/X11/XF86config there should be a DRI line in Section "Module", like: Section "Module" ... ... Load "glx" Load "dri" EndSection Hope that helps ^^; Ciao, Roberto

Yes, glx is loaded.
Load "dri" No, dri is missing from my /etc/X11/XF86config. EndSection
Hope that helps ^^;

Thanks again, I hope you are not fed up with my problem... This is somewhat important to me since I really need the suspend functionality on my laptop (the Vaio has a buggy BIOS, so APM won't work:-( ) and also X of course. -Teemu
