Ah, thank you. > Does it help if you use a "common" resolution such as 1280x1024 or > 1024x768 instead of 1368x1024? Well yes, but now when switching to another virtual console and back to X, I occasionally get crashes that I did not get with the older X server and mga driver. The screen fills with thin colourful vertical stripes. I press SysRq+S (sync) and SysRq+U (remount readonly), and the disk makes a sound. But then I press SysRq+B and the computer does not reboot. I could connect a serial console if you think that would help.
