Description Michael Zeising 2006-03-26 09:28:42 UTC

I've just updated to the modular xorg-server 1.0.2-r1. I re-emerged ati-drivers 8.23.7 and rebooted. When /etc/init.d/xdm is issued, I get the following kernel panic:

Thanks a lot!

Same problem here. (Also same configuration regarding environment)

Comment 2 Urs Joss 2006-04-05 01:00:26 UTC

I had something similar (can't check the exact message right now).

What triggered it in my case seemed to be the synaptics driver though. X couldn't find the core pointer device - a kernel oops seemd to follow upon that.

Do any of you use synaptics?

Yes, but rebuilding x11-drivers/synaptics does not solve that prob.

This version is no longer in the tree. Try w/ up-to-date ati-drivers please. Thanks.
