Twice :-( Sounds like you have one of those old pieces of hardware that are problematic. I've screwed around with X a good bit in the 8 years I've been using Linux, but it's never locked up my entire system. I even installed it on a laptop--_that_ was an adventure :) Sorry I can't be of more help, but you might try asking a wider audience, such as the comp.windows.x.i386unix or comp.os.linux.x newsgroups, to see if anyone else with this same card and/or monitor will send you an XFree86 3 config file for it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
