Very well could be something with the kernel... Although, it looks like it's a conflict between the kernel and the video driver from where I'm sitting. If I recall correctly from when I booted the system last, the video driver is loading well before X sessions are being built, or the window manager sessions are being built. Also, I recall reading an article that mentioned a change in the memory management in the 2.4.x kernels. (This was several months back: an interview with Linus or one of the other kernel developers in Linux Journal or Linux Magazine..or other similar magazine.) Could be that the NVidia drivers are relying on something in the memory management of the older kernels that the newer memory management is getting in the way of. // George
