Booted failsafe: No flickering wse.

I told you to start *failsafe Xsession*, *not* booting failsafe entry.

I'm not sure what is causing the monitor detection to happen. Neither the Xserver nor the driver should do this. Could you do an X -logverbose 7 :1 in a console, please check if you can still observe any flickering, then kill the server with crtl-alt-bs (twice!) and check if there are still mutiple such monitor probes at the end of the log file. This flickering could also come from linebuffer starvation during drawing operations. There are too may entities accessing local memory on the card. Robby: just for testing: could you add the option: Option "NoAccel" to the device section of the config file and try again? -- 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.
