Dear Michael I don't insist on this depth at all, this is what happened to my setup after the crash. As I said in my original message. Redhat 8.0 installed perfectly and xfree86 ran perfectly. I upgraded th kernel from 2.4.18-14 to an atalon one 2.4.18-24 after which I could not get X to work again. So I reinstalled the system, reverting to the earlier kernel formatting the partitions, and then everything was fine for quite a long time until this happened again. I was advised by another member of the list to include any error messages so here they are. I want to know why x keeps on crashing. Is is a kernel bug which only surfaces when you use a particular video card maybe? What is the most stable card to use? I like Linux but X has always been a pain in the arse to setup. It's a lot better now than it used to be though.

Er... so with an error message of that sort why do you insist on trying to run in an unsupported depth? I fail to see any kind of a "crash" anywhere. 'man XF86Config' and "DefaultDepth" there in particular. Michal ************************************************************************************************
