Grabbed the 2.1.0-950726-SNAP sources today.

Compiled new kernel.

Still no luck. When starting X11 (XFree86 3.1.2) I get a very dark blue
display. I have to switch to another VT and shutdown the machine "blind".
What's curious: I still have to reset the thing. But I can see at the next
boot that the disk syncing was successful.

BTW, XFree86 3.1.2 (compiled for 2.0.5) runs smoothly on my 2.0R kernel.

What happened here?  And how can I fix it?  I have no clue whatsoever.
