What video card did you have. Is it on the supported list for xfree? Is it on the well supported list or the take-your-chances list? Was your kernel and or xfree compiled with AMD optimizations turned on in gcc? Lots of questions can be asked. I have some servers running Athlon XP 1800+ processors and the kernel was compiled with -march=k6 since I specified a k7 processor in the make.conf. The machines would hang every few days. Once I recompiled the kernel with no -march flag (just straight x86) I have not had a problem (so far, knock on wood). I do not know where it was hanging up, since the machines are 4000km away from me right now, but they have not had a problem since I did that -- maybe you have a similar issue? best Chad > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
