Please do. And if you experience a crash again (using the open source drivers only, and without using any 3rd party kernel modules), *please* file a bug report against XFree86 in bugzilla. Attach your config file, log file, and /var/log/messages to the report, and indicate as much detail about how to reproduce the problem as possible. I have Return To Castle Wolfenstein here, so I can test it.
