X : caught signal 11 ?
Quoted 6 lines · Yann Bizeul
I've a little bit more informations.
1) X caught signal 11 and quits each time I go back to a console.
2) X quits each time XScreensaver is launchingIuse the XFree server provided by Release 5
I also have problem 1), though I guess I've managed to disable xscreensaver so X does its built-in blanking thing (with no power saving =( ).
To crash X:
startx
ctrl-cmd-F1
Poof. All gone. If you have xdm set up, xdm reloads (and takes you to vc 7 from wherever you wanted to go in the first place). I'm using platinumfb. Is anyone else out there able to use virtual consoles without X crashing?

Well, I switch on and off all the time (I have 6 console VT's and 2 X VT's). I used to get palette problems, but not since I applied anthony tong's patch and rebuilt X. It never died (well, it did in my cobbled pre-R5, but not in the released LinuxPPC 1999).

I see. What video driver are you using? Yann, you too? As I mentioned, I'm using platinumfb on a PowerCenter 132. I'm wondering if it's the driver. I just got Mark Abene's updated driver but haven't had a chance to try it yet (and won't for the rest of the week). For those of you who want to see if it fixes anything, I've put it up at

I have problem 2), but when I'm disabling xscreensaver! I'm using R5 (final) on UMAX J700 with an IMS TwinTurbo 128 (2 Mb VRAM) . Power saving does not work in either ways.
BTW, is anybody knows which arguments to give (for BootX) if I want to remove the "No video driver" options? I've tried a few combinations (like video=imsttfb:vmode:17,cmode:16), but even the console is almost unusable. I think that the only to use the IMS is to check that "No video driver" option.

I'm assuming you mean something along the lines of
$ xset s off
Does X have a built in blanking thing other than that? Or is it an Apple hardware thing?

I can switch consoles o.k. I'm on a pb3400c so I guess that makes me chips65550fb (?). If I put the machine to sleep for any significant period of time, X dies.
Is this just an xfree problem or is it in xpmac also?

Hollis,
I have the platinumfb too (7200), and I read your message, tried it and bang, x
was down. I recompiled the kernel with the new driver (I didn't get it from your site it was mailed to me) and it is ok now. I never had this problem before with fvwm and accel X , maybe it is a Xpmac & the driver?

does video=imsttfb:noaccel work?
Unfortunately no. What would be the advantages if I don't get accelleration? Do you have ans IMS TwinTurbo card?
