I'm checking messages, Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old. There are noerror messages in any of them (unless this counts: BOGUS LENGTH in writekeyboard desc, expected 5352, got 5356 , but the system keeps running,so I don't think that's it). My card is a Radeon 9200SE+, IIRC it'sr280 (X.org loads the driver for the r200 line to provide 3Dacceleration), and no, it never happens when I'm running screensavers or3D programs, only when I'm working with GUI-based programs (it happenedonce with Smart, once with Firefox, and once with Gnome Mines, and thereare more that I can't remember).
