To tell you the truth, my X Server (running a Geforce2 MX) has been much
more reliable and less prone to freezes since I moved to the 2.6 kernel.
Plus, the Entrance bug I had with it not being able to catch X crashes at
times (or SIGKILLs) seems to have now disappeared, making it even more
difficult for me to track down. :)

Don't be so sure. I spent 3 years trying to figure out why my SB16
wouldn't work with the alsa driver, only to eventually find out the stupid
thing was failing to properly initialize the isapnp card regardless of the
isapnp parameter to the driver.
