Hi John
I haven't had the box long enough to be sure, but I have had the same
problem. I believe it is XFree86 4.0 and the mga driver (i have a g400).
Switch back to 3.x and it should work fine. nyway, I had to take the box
back because it wasn't detecting my full cpu speed - when I get it back,
I'll report on my stability.
