Didn't see the earlier messages, but I had a problem with my old Radeon card. I found that by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, commenting out Load "dri" (with a # at the start of the line), and changing the radeon driver to ati, I could get a stable desktop. Warning: this will disable 3D acceleration, but leave 2D working. You might want to try this and see if it helps system stability. I never worked out if this was a board problem or a chipset problem. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | And the cuckoo isn't cooing, @westexe.demon.co.uk | But he's cucking and he's ooing, | And a Pooh is simply pooh-ing | Like a bird. -- 'Noise', by Pooh
