XFree86-4.3.0, no lock-ups just toes up. > You might want to try running CTCS (search freshmeat) on the box. It > stresses (and tests) all the hardware far better than memtest86. Have you > verified that this isn't an overheating problem, or dust bunnies? No dust bunnies but this is one of the warmest houses I've seen in a while, it faces south and gets the sun all day long. (great for house plants, not so for 'puters). See my reply to Collins for a bit more detail on the heat. Right now, the CPU is 50.5 C and the mobo is 29 C with a ~20 C ambient temp in this room. I'd crank down the thermostat but then I'd catch it from the other occupants. I move out the end of this month into a much cooler environment... too late for the vid card in this box. Much too late for the box that was running the sxs mirror unfortunately. Thanks for the tip (CTCS), I'll have to give it a go. Myles -- Myles Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Calgary, AB, Canada eh?
