I have a similar problem. I have two machines with the NVidia driver running. One Athelon TB 850 with a GForce 256 DDR - runs without problem. The other, an Intel P4 with a G4 ti4200 with a 17" LCD screen. I usually have a screen saver running and turn off the monitors when not in use. But the P4 machine with the ti4200 card sometimes locks up - I get scrambled stuff on the display and the keyboard doesn't respond. I can only SSH to the machine and kill the X server which is using up lots of CPU. This machine was very stable a few kernels ago - but since I did a new install - the enterprise kernel is running (I have 1281MB memory) - so I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the enterprise kernel vs normal kernel or not. Up until recently, I have had very little problems with the NVidia drivers (4191) Cheers, R.Fox -- Robert Fox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fox Consulting Services
