Now I wonder if your trick of having "modprobe fbcon" in /etc/rc.d/rc.local would fix your issue? Of course you can't try because you can't save... maybe booting "pfix=nox", then running depmod && modprobe fbcon , then running xorgwizard might give you the ability to create a save and if so resolve an issue! It works fine on my old radeon out of the box, so it may not even be a video driver issue. The other alternative is to force "vesa" I guess. Darn, I did think that that was a nouveau only issue. Perhaps it is a modesetting issue in which case you would need an added kernel paramater to boot (and shutdown) successfully. I'll dig around to see what that paramater might be.
EDIT: I just checked lsmod and fbcon is loaded ok for me, I guess check it loaded So that leaves the kernel or vesa.
Ok I just discovered this from TazOC's LHP thread,
Code: Select all
radeon.modeset=0
Code: Select all
puppy pfix=ram radeon.modeset=0
Oh yes, still needing an ATI-fglrx pet

Stripe, your python may come in handy. I have been stuffing around with bluez, the linux bluetooth stack and while the backend appears to work fine I'm having trouble finding a suitable frontend. bluezgnome from the bluez developer works, but it is hamstrung, in that it only works one way, computer to device, no good. I can't get gnome-bluetooth to compile as it needs the latest glib which breaks a heap of other stuff, will have to wait till Slackware upgrade for that one. There are a few home-brew QT apps out there, but I'll leave them alone, kbluetooth is just plain too big which leaves blueman, dependent on python and py-gtk. It may well be the best option, though I seriously dislike python, it's slow and bloated, but if it works then why not? We'll see.. .(I might even write a gtkdialog frontend for bluetooth, will be hairy though!)
Cheers

EDIT: I aslo forgot a critical fix to bash4.. I forgot to symlink it to /usr/bin which breaks ldd (..and who knows what else).
Code: Select all
ln -sf /bin/bash /usr/bin/bash
