If that is the case then I may be more inclined to install the ATI card and attempt to get the system stable. I am just checking because I'd rather not try to diagnose 2 types of crashes at the same time! The internal 82810E video is AGP and the ATI card is PCI so in the radeon comments above, my only option is radeon.modeset=0 tom -- Ubuntu-x mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-x
