The problem is that X seems to just freeze up at random times. Sometimes

today. It also seems to be more frequent (possibly) with the latest
kernel 2.6.8-1.521 (and I have kept completely updated with yum).
My driver is the default nvidia for a GeForce3 Ti 200 card and system is
500Mhz Athlon with 384M memory. It has run other linux systems for years
with no problem, e.g., RH 7.2, Debian.
By "freeze" I mean the keyboard and mouses button do nothing, only the
mouse cursor moves. The system does not really crash. The freeze is
never associated with doing any particular thing, AFAICT.
I can go run vncviewer from another box and it comes up and works fine.
After "killall -9 X" I can then login again and it goes again. I have
seen this with KDE and GNOME (but I typically just run KDE).
Sorry, is that the default "nv" driver that comes with Fedora, or the
closed-source one that Nvidia provides?
defaut == "nv" that comes with Fedora.
Were you using the equivalent driver in RH 7.2 and Debian? The same
card?
Same card and "nv" driver. No closed source driver.
Any chance you can try the vesa driver?
Sorry, don't know what this "vesa" driver is.
James.
