So far, the system has been fine since we dropped the screen resolution from 1600x1200 to 1280x1024. This is looking like the culprit, since this RH errata notice: > Red Hat Network has determined that the following advisory is applicable to > one or more of the systems you have registered: > > Bug Fix Advisory - RHBA-2002:068-06 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Summary: > Updated XFree86 packages are available > > Updated XFree86 4.1.0 packages are now available which fix various bugs > reported since the last erratum update. > > Description: > XFree86 is a graphical user interface (GUI) protocol and API for Unix and > Linux systems. > > This release addresses various issues that have been reported > since the last XFree86 erratum update.
