It crashes even when I switch to VC after it is fully loaded. Note that the behaviour is very random.
Yesterday I disabled dri in my XF86Config-4 and the crash frequency has considerably reduced. But it still crashes occasionally. It's quite anoying. Yes, it used to work properly on versions XFree86 4.0, and some 4.1pre versions. I cannot remember exact version numbers. -- Ramakrishnan (http://www.hackGNU.org/) Use Free Software (http://www.gnu.org/)
