there is something out of the norm wrong with yours. Give us a little 
more details please.

this one :
MDDP 1.25 GHZ, 1.5 MB, 160 & 120 GB HD's

Andrew is quite correct.  I have a G3MT, Ultra SCSI Apple card flashed 
back to ATTO, 2 x IBM 18Gig ultra drives and one Seagate 80Gb ATA. It 
has 768MB RAM, a Sonnet G4/700 ZIF upgrade (these improvements were 
sourced from OWC despite my being in the UK, on account of their 
reputation, prices and helpful approach). From eBay I bought a (flashed) 
Radeon 64Mb 7000, and I got locally a Pioneer 106, and a new Belkin 
5-port USB 2 card when I got ADSL and a USB modem (yeah, I know - and I 
HAVE just got an ethernet modem),  No problems with 10.2.8 - runs 
beautifully.

I also look after (at work) a mixture of Beige G3/233s B&Ws, G4/867 and 
also MDD's.  Amongst friends I take care of a mixture of similar 
machines, iMacs,  plus iBooks and tiPowerbooks.

9.2.2 crashes sometimes - OS X almost never does - the only times it 
has, it's usually been a liveware fault!

I generally do remove add-ons before total upgrades, otherwise if it's 
just minor - security updates, 10.2.6 to 10.2.8 etc., I  start in safe 
mode and find I don't have problems. I do cheat however, by generally 
reading "Read-Me's" first.
Tom, I'm sorry you're having such problems -  I've never experienced 
anuthing like that but I'm sure if you take out the add-ons, X will go 
on as sweet as a nut, and you shouldn't have problems subsequently 
re-installing them.

Keep us posted
