Bad video card? Other than displaying Axis, does the EMC2 Code require a video card to run? We can run the CPU box headless can't we? Maybe try a new driver for the video card. Since you had to reboot the machine, I'm leaning towards the card causing problems. If it was just the monitor, you shouldn't have had to reboot the machine. If it was X, usually logging out and logging back in resets the X server. One thing you can try if it happens again, since you can get to a command line, is type "init 1", let it get to single user mode, then type "init 5" to bring it back up to full-featured run time. After the program completes properly, of course... ;-) This in effect shuts down the X server, a whole bunch of other things, then starts them back up again without having to go through a full reboot.
