I just got 19 Alpha installed on this ancient beast and so far everything is working. I went with the network install and the default GNOME desktop. Firefox does not appear to be locking up the screen any more, so I'm guessing the XOrg piece of the Nouveau logic was the culprit. I'm updating a bunch of other software; once that's done I'll install KDE and see if I can get a crash. On Tue, Apr 23, 2013 at 7:28 AM, Darryl L.
