Merry Monday everyone.
I've had a couple of odd system crashes (hard lock up, frozen video,
not pingable, requiring hard reboot) that I was hoping could be explained.
The other times seem to be GL related. I've come back to my box and had it sitting at a GL screensaver under kde 3.1, frozen solid.
Same problem here, same situation. I put the screen saver to blank screen instead of eye candy (gl goodies) and it works fine. Nothing else GL seems to lock it though. Didn't happen with kde 3.05, though, but it did with kde 3.0...
I'm running a k7-900, 450megs of ram, geforce3, and lots of hard drive (3x80 in raid5, 2x cdroms, another two drives for a raid0 on / and my winxp partition). The system has a 350watt power supply and hasn't had oddness like this before. I'm running the gentoo sources kernel with nothing fancy in it.
I have a asus a7v266-c mb with 768 mb ram, 2kAthlonXp, a msi video card using nvida drivers.
Should I be trying the vanilla or -ck kernel, or running memtest or something?

Doesn't seem to matter which kernel I have, but it hasn't happened in WindowMaker when I ran that for a day or so. Neal -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
