my x-server is working now after using yaboot - thanks !
using a 2.2.17pre15 worked fine, but with a 2.4-test6 kernel the
x-server crashed often especially under heavy load - like compiling
mozilla-m17 !? but even on the console the build would stop three times
with error 132, just had to restart the build - strange .
i just upgraded to 2.4-test7, and the x-server seems to be stable now
(compiling a new mozilla while using the old one - really a heavy load
...). but now i have some garbage (several blue dots) on my screen,
especially on the "gkrellm"-window.
any idea ?
i will try a new rsynced version of the ati-driver during the weekend.
by the way, do you know the standard key-combination to emulate the
second and third mouse button ? with the 2.4-test6 they used to be
"fn-ctrl" and "fn-alt". but when i upgraded to 2.4-test7 i could not
find them anymore.
hope you can help me out again.

No, I don't do 2.4 (too much work to do in 2.2 yet).

Use showkey or xev. My emulation keys are F11 and F12, (108,111) in 2.2,
and as I said above, I don't bother too much with 2.4 as long as Linus
keeps doing these break-all-archs-except-i386 things to the code.

Hasn't that happened in 2.2 as well? I guess that's just the way things go in
Linux - if you don't want that, maybe you're more lucky with NetBSD or
something ;)

ROTFL. I'm sure it happened with 2.1.199+ (or whatever the last versions
pre 2.2.0 were), and there were still problems with 2.2.x with x < 6 or so
on some archs. I'm just extremely unhappy with far reaching changes being
introduced in 2.4.0-test (I know it's just a fake 2.4, a smoke screen for
the press, but nonetheless).
Wake me as soon as 2.4.10 comes around :-)
