Hi Carl,

Thanks, Greg.
Something that I didnt mention before, is that when texting the monitor settings in sax2 is that it is not possible to adjust the screen, i.e. clicking on the arrows that move the screen around or shrinks or expands it do not work. And then clicking either save or cancel gives that blank screen which then Ctrl+Alt+BkSpace does not work, it just hangs and have to hard reboot.
Does this also happen if you kill X during the test, itself, before selecting 'Cancel' or 'Test'? Ctl+Alt+Bkspc is supposed to be the built-in 'escape hatch' for when you get a 'black screen of death' instead of the test screen. It's supposed to drop you to command line instead of leaving you blind and/or locked up.
I decided to force the monitor settings by not clicking test, but to save straight away. This seemedly worked, however other problems arise such as not being able to logout or shutdown or get to init 3.
Can you get to an alternate console at this point? Ctl+Alt+F1 thru F6?
I'm wondering now whether there has been a change in 10.1 such that it can no longer handle this particular graphic adapter or something, e.g. why wont the arrows adjusters work when testing the monitor etc
There's obviously been a change of some type. Please send copies (direct; too much for the list) of: the current /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install /etc/X11/xorg.conf.saxsave /var/log/messages /var/log/SaX.log /var/log/XFree86.xx.log /var/log/Xorg.xx.log ** note: copy these into an empty working directory and append the suffix '.txt' to them. Also the results of: ** note: adjust the path to 'land' these files in the same working directory as above. hwinfo > /home/greg/hwinfo.txt lsmod -v > /home/greg/lsmod.txt lspci -v > /home/greg/lspci.txt cat /proc/interrupts > /home/greg/interrupts.txt change into the working directory containing the above files and do: tar -czf *.txt gregdiag.tar.gz This will zip the up into a nice small package for mailing. regards, Carl
