I totally agree here. Although Netscape is by far the worst for me, other X
programs crash also. People talk about Linux stability, but realistcally that
is usually true when X is not being used. It's defintely an issue that will
hurt Linux in the long run if XFree86 can't become more stable and support
newer hardware. So here goes my configuration:
Kernel: 2.0.36
Video Card: Diamond Stealth 3000 3D - S3 virge VX
Server: SVGA Recommended that I dont use the S3V server.
Switched video card to an: STB Nitro 3D
Same server.
Same problem.
