Just to note, I didn't have any more crashes since, maybe because I patched my kernel to fix some deadlock problems. But crashes were so rare that I'm not sure yet that it was kernel problem. It's definately not my hardware, sice I ran all kinds of stress tests, and haven't been able to reproduce the crash. Vedran Rodic

I had no problems with the Xfree drivers, the nvidia driver however hangs my machine pretty bad, the screen stop getting signal and the box stop sespond to ping. I had the exacly same problem erlier when i compiled "Video mode selection support" in my kernel. 2.2.16 i think that was. I havent compiled in APM since its at SMP system and i disabled all power manegment in my bios (its a Abit bp6 mobo). Anyone have a theory on this. could it have something to do whith agp drivers or something? I havent done any agp configuring in the kernel. /Andreas

X totally freezes
I've put the version 7 betas onto my woody box (Cyrix 166+, 96Mb RAM and a Mystique 2Mb card) and since then X crashes at reasonably unexpected times, freezing the whole machine so that even Alt-SysRq can't sync the disks or reboot - although a SAK does something before total destrucion sets in (not recoverable though). Needless to say, XFree 3.3 didn't do anything like that. There don't appear to be any logs of what happened, but this may be because the disks don't sync before I have to manually hard boot the system. I suspect this is an X problem rather than a Debian X one, but thought I'd write to the list just in case someone has any idea what's up. Thanks for any responses, -Dave

X totally freezes
I've put the version 7 betas onto my woody box (Cyrix 166+, 96Mb RAM and a Mystique 2Mb card) and since then X crashes at reasonably unexpected times, freezing the whole machine so that even Alt-SysRq can't sync the disks or reboot - although a SAK does something before total destrucion sets in (not recoverable though). Needless to say, XFree 3.3 didn't do anything like that. There don't appear to be any logs of what happened, but this may be because the disks don't sync before I have to manually hard boot the system. I suspect this is an X problem rather than a Debian X one, but thought I'd write to the list just in case someone has any idea what's up.
