At 800x600, neomagic driver (nm2200) freezes machine.

Hi there,

I'm using the neomagic driver on an HP 4150 laptop, which has the NM2200
chipset.

Whenever I try to start the server at 800x600 (16bpp) it freezes the
machine when it tries start the graphic output. No particular messages
in the XFree86.0.log file. This also happens if I start in 1024x800 mode
and I use the Alt+Ctrl+KP_+/- key combo to switch to 800x600. I have not
tested other resolutions yet (besides 1024x800 which works fine).

I'm using redhat's XFree86-4.2.0-72 with the neomagic driver from CVS
trunk (20021023).

Is this a known bug? Any info I could provide that could be of help in
resolving it?

Thanks in advance,

Diego
