Have you tried building and running a kernel with some (or all) of the debugging options enabled (you find those in the "kernel hacking" section of the kernel config)? Hopefully one or more of those debug options will provide some info in dmesg to help find the source of the problem.
-- GFX cards: Radeon 9200, Radeon 9700, NVidia GeForce2 GTS/Pro, GeForce Ultra 5700, Geforce FX 5200
Are you using any proprietary, closed source, X drivers for those graphics cards? If yes, then the first thing to try would be to use one of the open source drivers - for example, use the 'nv' driver for the nVidia cards instead of the 'nvidia' driver. If your kernel is tainted by a close source driver nobody here will be able to help you debug the issue. If you can't reproduce the issue with an open source driver, then you should contact your graphics card vendor for help as they are the only people who will be able to help you with problems involving their closed driver. -- Jesper Juhl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
