Alex, somewhat later than expected, but...
Finally, my Zenwalk is up and running since some hours... What I did: 1. Went in MB BIOS and set AGP Speed to 4x (instead of 8x (was before) or automatic) 2. Applied the changes you proposed in Xorg.conf (all 3 lines in the graphic card device section) So, what did the trick? How can I/we get to the point to know which of the settings makes the system stable or the opposite? Any hint where to start and any 'stress test' to get a result sooner than after hours or days? Thank you so far!
