Jim,
Sounds like the same problem I'm having.
Bug #131934 was closed, so I opened Bug #132267
Try adding: Option "NoAccel"
just as a workaround (hopefully not the final fix).
John
I'm back on the fresh install system after changing the values to 24
instead of 16 and the refresh problem seems to be moot for now.
I don't know if just increasing the settings was enough to disable DRI
and make X work again or not.
I like the clarity (user factor or actual) with the settings set higher
depth.
How would I know if DRI is active or not! Below is the output from
lsmod. Is there another program that reveals more info related to the X
server related problems?
I'll keep the NoAccel option in mind if some refresh problem surfaces.
Also, out of curiousity, I'll check those bug report references.
Thanks for the lead! I hope the fix for this error surfaces also.
Jim
