I did have similar problems initially while running fedora core 3 on a new system. If I noticed the system had frozen soon after it froze I was able to ctrl+F1 to the prompt and kill the X session. If I lapsed all was lost. It was then I decided to use the nvidia drivers for the card which is a 5200. I was then immediately able to have my system running weeks at a time and have since seen no lockups. Note FC3 also used 2.8. As this was a new system FC2 with gnome 2.6 was never tested. I hope this helps somewhat. > _______________________________________________ > gnome-list mailing list > gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list > -- Corey Rogers Chief Technical Officer Wamco Technology Group Ltd (Barbados) Building #4, Suite 103 Harbour Industrial Park, St. Michael Phone: (246)437-3154 FAX: (246)434-8883 "The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size" OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES PHYSICIAN (1809-94) CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message including attachments, if any, is (are) for the intended recipient only (person or entity) and may contain confidential or proprietary information some or all of which may be legally privileged.
