I do have an ATI card. I'll try turning off desktop effects. Removing

Note that in the above example of a stable system, item 3. I have had about
equal numbers of people tell me that the vendor driver is vastly more stable
than the built-in driver, and totally the opposite.
Oh, and some fundamentalist open source fanatics who tell me it's better to
crash a few times a day than use a closed source driver. ;-)
The only "desktop effect" of interest to me is stability.
