Reinstalling linux is NEVER a solution for this sort of thing, 99.9% of the
time faulty configuration is the cause, mostly on the operators side,
including mine, yes i too have had core dumps, X locking up, netscape totaly
failing and spitting abuse at me and everytime it has been an "operator
error".
I now have an S3 card, it caused me a lot of problems at first after moving
on from the trident 8900.
"Operator Error"
'Replace Operator and hit any key'
Next day a mail appierd on the Linux-newbie list;
"but i dont have an any key"
