Hi I have tried recently tribe 4, it's worst than I expected :( !

-without boot arguments :
while gdm is launching, I see a black screen with the sand glass of gdm, but the login screen never appears and the sand glass freezes :(

-with acpi=off
usually on my feisty I use this parameter for my kernel, this way my laptop is faster ( booting and running) and I can make Beryl run !
the screen of gdm appears a while and disappears again ...

-with single option
 I tried to modify xorg.conf and add "Monitorlayout" "LVDS,AUTO" then start gdm or "startx" like Mark Eaton said but it crashes :(

when it freezes I have to kill 6 times the xserver before it can give me 2 minutes without trying to restart itself and I took logs from /var/logs :
-kern.log
-apport.log
-log from gdm directory
-Xorg.0.log

Otherwise on feisty, you need anyway to add "Monitorlayout" "LVDS,AUTO" if you wish to get 1280x800 screen resolution !

bye bye & thx
linuxboy !
