I recently install CentOS 5.2 on an older pc
Abit VP6 motherboard
2 x 1GHz PIII processors
1.5GB RAM
Nvidia MX440 video
All works fine except when running X
The display locks at ramdom times
Sometimes it locks when I log in
Sometimes it locks after several hours
While it is locked I can ssh to this machine from another server
I have to reboot to clear it
Also when I reboot X starts with random resolutions
>From research I see this has been a problem with Nvidia for several years
Can someone suggest a fix or a reliable video card
I am not a gamer, I not not need anything fancy
This is my xorg.conf
