Hello all,
Well, the story is a little long. :) There seems to be some conflicts with linux kernel(maybe modules...) and XFree86.
The first problem was when I was trying to run Xfree86 on Diamond Stealth 64video 2001/Samsung 17glsi monitor. Video 2001 wouldn't run with XFree86 3.1.2, so I upgraded X into 3.2 version. Video 2001 worked fine with XFree86 3.2. And I recompiled the Linux kernel for system optimization, and just rebooted the machine from a character terminal I use most of time.
And my friend found that XFree86 wouln't run a few days later. He tried various methods to make XFree86 run, but in vain. He solved this problem by completely(!) reinstalling the entire system.
And I did again the kernel compilation from my character terminal. and again my friend noticed that X wouldn't run. This time he replaced the Video2001 vga board with an old ATi Mach64 eXpression board and reinstalled the system again. It worked fine and I did the kernel compilation and the situation went bad again ... -___-
We solved this problem simply by compiling the kernel without utilizing 'module' feature. Now the server runs X windows very fine. I forgot this strange problem for a while. But the problem appeared again (this time on my home machine!) after the kernel recomplation. Well, there seems to be some problems with my 'make config' feature- selection style. :) The followings are /lib/modules/2.0.27/ listing of my Linux box. I'm a user of P120 cpu (with 32Mb of ram) and Ati Xpression 2Mb Dram board. I'm currently using XFree3.1.2. I appreciate much if somebody suggests what's wrong with my compilation style and I'm afraid this has something to do with kernel bugs.
