Hi Stan, great to read this!
I just found out, that there is a new driver available for NVIDIA and I will install it immediately... I use Nvidia 6600. It could be a graphics driver problem, but it used to work before... How can the graphics-instructions - issued by kopete (not directly of course) - bring down X? How does that work? And also it doesn't happen on a regular basis. Thanks!
