I spoke too soon, it would seem. 22 March 2001 also dies, it just managed
to remain functional overnight. It crashed, hard, as did later. It took
the whole box down in the process.
Thankfully this box uses reiserfs. It was converted immedately after I
ended up with a corrupt filesystem one of the last times X did this to
me.. Anyone reading this and considering a Radeon, steer clear for the
time being at least.
Radeon support is not even pre-alpha quality right now IMO. =(
