I'm afraid I need /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old to see the backtrace. Even better would be to install the xorg-x11-server-debuginfo package, but there are no -debuginfo packages available for updated packages. :-( -- 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.

Unfortunately we never had an i740 card for testing available, which makes investigation more or less impossible. There weren't any relevant driver changes lately, so I can assume that this driver is broken since some years without anybody noticing yet. Which can well be for a card which has been produced/selled only in 1998/1999. So you're trying to use a 10 years old gfx card. This might sound rude, but I seriously suggest to go for a modern card. There are still PCI/AGP cards available. ==> WONTFIX -- 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.
