I see there is an error in the latter, but I have no idea what it might mean or what to do about it.
Nor do I, so the next best thing is to google. If you look for 'drm_parse_option' you'll get quite a few hits with error-messages similar to the above. AFAICT, the "*ERROR* "locked-userpages" is not a valid option" message seems to be from the DRM part of the kernel, but I haven't found the actual code yet. I'm going to make a wild guess and suggest you add the following line Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0" to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the Section "Device" which contains Driver "fglrx" It really is just a hunch, and I have no ideas what it might or might not do. I'll try it out myself in a bit.
Once again, my thanks for sticking with me on this, and my apologies for not being better placed to help myself.
Not to worry Peter - it's a challenge, bit of a way to relax from the daily run-o-the-mill stuff :-) /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.56°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
