Thus we are left with hardware. How's your > cooling? Well, I'm not have the kernel crashes that the other fellow is having, however I suspect this might be some good advise for me too. I'm running on the 2.0.34 kernel. I can try the 2.0.33 one that came with the distrobution. Does anyone have any idea's of what would be a safe version xserver-svga to go with? I'm running 3.3.2.3-1 now. Also, some of the error I've been getting are shown below. The only one that fails all the time is second one. (netscape) The rest will be repeatable for a little while, but after a reboot, or after some period of time, they work again. I've started to capture all the odd error messages.
