That's nice to hear. ;-) But just because one person does not experience problems, or 10 people, or 10,000 people, does not mean the thing is not broken. Lots of people DO have crashes. I have a driver that works for me, mostly. Occasionally when I boot, the display locks up -- the machine doesn't crash, but I still can't really use it. Often, when I shut the machine down, the display changes to something that reminds me of Yar's Revenge, and the machine fails to shut down cleanly. It has behaved this way with every version of the kernel I've installed. As for the latest version of the drivers, they just don't work for me at all. The display never initializes properly, leaving the machine (my laptop) essentially unusable. -- Derek D. Martin http://www.pizzashack.org/ GPG Key ID: 0x81CFE75D
