X keeps crashing?

1998-12-16 Thread arch
Hi

Ive been very happy with debian so far. But the only thing that im not unhappy 
about
is why X keeps crashing on me.ive been promised that linux is a much stable OS.

My card is a s3 virge/gx2
running at 24 bit with a virtual resolution of 1028 768
using the SVGA server
the server would load and apps would start
but somewhere in the middle of nowhere..the whole system hangs
ctrl+del+alt doesnt rebooot and system or any other keys

can anyone please help me with this problem?

thnx

Is there a way that I can keep my debian2.0 system current with the new 
packages?
Ive heard pple using apt,dpkg-ftp to upgrade their packages automatically?
Can someone please tell me how I can achieve this?

Thnx
