which head the radeon or MGA or both?


The radeon 9200SE-pci gets stuck. The MGA-agp seems to be fine. I have compiled
dri support for both, but I can't use it at the moment.  I think that is
caused by having ubuntu's xorg installed on debian.  I needed xorg
in order to run an xserver that doesn't use any tty - this way I can use
two keyboards and have two simultaneous users. Debians xorg wasn't ready
at the moment. The setup is fine with 2.6.13-rc4-mm1 x86-64, no problems there.

The problem still exists in 2.6.13-rc6. Usually, all I get is a suddenly black display, solveable by resizing. But the machine will occationally hang, forcing me to use the reset button. I lost my mbox file to this (from an ext3 fs, on raid-1 on scsi.)

It is hard to say wether the fs problem merely is an effect of hanging with rc6.
With rc5, there definitely was some sort of io/scsi problem as one disk
was "lost" until I booted a working kernel.

Currently, it seems like I won't be able to use 2.6.13.
