Hi there Yann, Just to note, my problem was an extreme case particular to only me. Changing the motherboard is the 'Last' thing you would want to do if at all. The 'Only' reason i did so was because of my radeon problems and various other problems. The bad board is now running my Windoze machine...and surprise surprise...Windows is crashing even more frequently then before...never thought that was possible ;) If it runs fine in Windows 9x then I would look elsewhere. Looking at your problem again... if your X generally works fine with your hand written then I would keep using it. :) As for your Sax2 problem I have no idea. As for your 'shutting down x causes crash' problem... If you try shutting down your system without X, what happens? Never encountered that before. Anyone have any ideas? ---- yann FUSERO <yann.fusero1@libertysurf.fr> wrote: > Salut Hubert > > > I don't think this is going to help you much but anyhow, > > I have an AGP Powercolor 32MB DDR Dark Wizard (ATI Radeon 7000) with > > Suse 7.3 using Xfree86 4.2.
