I just got a Compaq Presario x1000, with roughly the same setup (RH9, 2.6.0-test4, Radeon Mobility 9200), and I've seen the exact same lockup problems. Thing is, I've seen it even worse when I boot to XP, so I wouldn't think it was necessarily related to X or even Linux (at least in my case, don't know your hardware). One check, lots of times if X goes screwey, you can still telnet to your machine from across the network, and kill X server manually, that should get gdm/X to restart, if that indeed is the problem. Otherwise, you're looking at kernel (or hardware) problems. -- Carl Nygard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
