I remember starting this discussion several months ago. X freezing while not doing much to the cpu or even using anything that has to do with 3D graphics. It was related to my Nvidia and KDE. For a while now I was not having a problem untill recently while running xine X would crash and try to restart. But then after seeing the Nvidia logo the screen would go blank and doing the magig key alt-prnt-T would report a kernel oops in the messages file. after running ksymoops against the messages, It was riddled with NVdriver module problems. Of course Nvidia has ignored my emails to them. I choose to use Linux for the stability and flexability it gives me. If this is what we have to deal with, I might as well get XP and join AOL and float around the office with everyone else. -Dave -Dave
