Yes, saw that, too. That was the outage two weeks ago. Users call "we get a black screen, we need this computer to monitor vacuum". So I look, and indeed X11 dies from NULL pointer. Google the error messages shows that there is a new 304xxx package. But cannot install - it requires the -504 kernel that was not released until a week later. The 310xxx driver installed fine, though. Luckily I only had just the one computer with such old drivers. -- Konstantin Olchanski Data Acquisition Systems: The Bytes Must Flow!
