Hello! I've recently updated udev 095 to 096 from the ports tree, and my system hangs on XWindow starting. (no mouse, no keyboard, hard reset) I couldn't figure out what's wrong, but it's something to do with the udev rules. I've tried an older 50-udev.rules file and Xwindow works well. Could somebody help me with that plase? thanks kodiak
It's the /dev/dri device. The dri rule not exists in the new .rules files. hi all kodiak kodiak wrote:

On my box, /dev/dri is a directory with /dev/dri/card* being the actual device nodes. In any case, it shouldn't make your "system hang". What exactly happens when you launch X?

Yes, you're right /dev/dri is not a device. The /dev/dri directory doesn't exist, nor the card0 device. As I wrote, launching kdm or startx makes my box unusable (black screen, no mouse and keyboard). I have only one computer, so I couldn't try to login from another box. I've commented out the 'Load "dri"' line from the xorg.conf, and Xwindow works. I can live without dri. regards kodiak

What kernel version are you running? It works fine for me with drm and radeon built as modules (and automatically loaded) with Linus' git tree, but other recent kernels (>=2.6.16 IIRC) should do the trick too.

I'm using a 2.6.17.7 kernel from kernel.org, radeon and drm are built as modules, radeon is loaded from rc.modules. As I think, The Xwindow dri driver tried to use the drm kernel module but there was no /dev/dri/card0 device. The whole thing (dri, drm, radeon etc.) is a bit unnecessary because my card (Radeon 9800 Pro) is not supported by the radeon XWindow driver. :-) I've left the "dri" line in the xorg.conf inadvertently. I've tried to make it work long time ago, but I didn't really need it.
