More to the point - the crashing of my netscape has dissapeared
after I have removed glx support from XFree86
(so no agpgart module in memory)
So maybe it also good to try to use the system without accelerated
UtahGLX with agp support. I suspect some latest updates to
utah source code introduced some instability to my system.
As few weeks ago my system was running for a week without crash,
and now I'm easily achieving the lock just by running netscape
over NFS after login.
As the big amount of BP6 users are using G400 - maybe its good
to check the stability without UtahGLX code - as AGP support
improparly implemented migh probably cause strange problems.
Also another note - crashes are more frequent while I'm using
RTLinux patch - as I rather think the RTL2.2 has very small amount
of bugs, I don't think that RTL is causing locks - but rather I suppose
it shows them sooner - because of different way its processesing
SMP locks.
