...and that's all Martin Sk?tt wrote I'm afraid
Yup, I have the same problem on a desktop. I haven't upgraded the kernel from
2.2r3 yet, but other than that I'm on testing. I think it may be a combination
of the XFree version and card driver (I'm on the Savage4 driver).
Unfortunately I don't have a solution yet - other than perhaps downgrading
XFree, installing, and then upgrading again! It works fine on my laptop (Dell
Latitude C600) running exactly the same setup but with the Rage Mobilty
graphics driver. Oh, and mine is a local install, not an XFS one (well a
network install to a local drive).
