It's the only thing that prevents the lockups for me. But I'm crying because all the nice eye candy is missing. Xorg -configure :1 && sed 's/intel/vesa/' xorg.conf.new > /etc/X11/xorg.conf is the simplest way to switch :P. If you are still facing lockups, I suggest you guys be very very careful. It seems like every open file gets some sort of corruption with the kernel panic. I lost a (nearly everything) on my /home partition thanks to this, and various config files (most commonly akregator's config file) kept vanishing. Take a backup of your .kde folder (and everything else that matters) NOW. If this makes any sense to you: I've noticed that it is slightly safer to press power button once, allow the kernel to panic, then hold power button again for n secs (to poweroff), instead of just holding power button. Trust me, a message telling you that you need to run fsck on your /home is not funny. -- Tejas Dinkar http://gja.in
