(from comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc) -- .. The partial solution was to create a xorg.conf file under /etc/X11 and add the following tweaks to the main "Device" section: Option Accel "True" Option AccelMethod "BLT" Option DRI "False" .. -- This wasn't a true fix but it did prevent a total X11 crash and usually running xrefresh cleaned display up enough to continue working. -B
