hi. i'm getting random hard crashes on my thinkpad a20p when i'm running X.

i tried running 4.2.0 for a while, but it was crashing about every 30 minutes. the 
netbsd gurus said to go to 4.1.0, so... 4.1.0 crashes about every other day. 

it's a hard crash, the screen goes blank and then up comes the thinkpad welcome 
screen, followed by a 15 minute fsck extravaganza... i've been running netbsd 1.5 on 
other systems (w/o X) and it's rock solid.

attached are the XF86Config and XFree86.0.log files. (i started with the XF86Config 
file from http://www.zhlive.ch/XF86Config.402)

here's the rest of the info:

i'm running XFree86 4.1.0 for netbsd 1.5 from the xfree86.org site.

attached to the thinkpad i have an nec multisync lcd 2010 ("Monitor1"). i've also got 
a usb keyboard and usb mouse.

the one thing that's sort of odd is that when i type

        startx -- -layout external

the external monitor goes dark and the thinkpad's screen comes on. i then have to 
F7-cycle three times to get it back to external on/thinkpad-screen off...

maybe my definition for the NEC is the problem. as usual, the problem is intermittent, 
and not consistenly reproducible (unless i haven't saved my files in emacs).

any help is appreciated.

thanks!
