The kernel frequently logs some non-critical errors generated by the nvidia crap, but X never dies, nor do any apps fail for the most part. When I say "poof," I should be more specific - maybe 3 times in 3 months. The failures are random - once after a download completed; the other times retreiving a new page with several tabs open. I'm using a binary installed via a standard gentoo package. Other than this I can give Firebird 0.7 a clean bill of health, well almost. I do encounter the occasional url with a webpage that doesn't format very well, but that's probably due to some ie6-specific stuff in the page. In your case, Myles, I would suspect nvidia drivers, USB mouse, combination of all of the above with acpi, or ???, probably nothing to do with Firebird. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
