On my ubuntu system (the one that doesn't crash) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dmesg | grep -i aperture [ 0.000000] Checking aperture... [ 0.000000] CPU 0: aperture @ 0 size 32 MB [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ hat's on my Ubuntu system, which does not freeze. Will try etch (same machine, dual boot) when I get the chance. By the way, how does one change the aperture size? Or is it hardware-determined? I have nvidia graphic chips on the motherboard. I get crashes in etch but not in dapper. Can't try etch right now because I have several users on the system. Will try tomorrow. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
