Looks obvious since it was broken for me since -pre6, and -pre8 didn't change anything apparently... but I decided to give -pre8 a spin anyway. To my surprise, the framebuffer didn't go wild as it happened in earlier occasions - as in here: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0307.2/0732.html However, firing startx resulted in a black screen and a hard hang (had to keep the poweroff button for 10" to actually power off). So I tried booting -pre8 again, and this time the framebuffer went wild again. It looks like there is a timing issue perhaps ? I'm available for testing and debugging this - so far I'm stuck with -pre4 which is the latest working. Thanks in advance for any help/insight. --alessandro "Prima di non essere sincera / Pensa che ti tradisci solo tu" (Vasco Rossi, 'Prima di partire per un lungo viaggio')
