However, Brook Humphrey may have something useful in his post. Hoyt

I'm having the same problems with a Toshiba Satellite Pro 420CDS (C&T 6 video).If I move a window, it locks up and I can't open a virtual console or Alt-Ctrl-Backspace. Mandrake 8.0 worked without problems. Hoyt

I had lots of file corruption to > overcome because of this nasty problem. XFree 3.3.6 works fine. I Experiance the same problems on a newer 900mhz athlon system with a voodoo 3000 video card. I seem to get it more often when I use the weel mouse. restarting the xserver doesn't help. If I change to a terminal with ctrl-alt-f3 or whichever terminal and then back to x it seems to clear it up but only for a little while. I eventually have to reboot the system or I get complete system lockup.
