I'm also noticing a number of strange things(e.g. screen blanking, flickers of vertical bars, pixel clock changes, and color remapping) happening seemingly randomly, although they do, on the whole, seem to happen after a mouse movement or button click. Does this point to the glint video driver as being buggy, and it too is the ultimate culprit for the X server terminations. (Happens with both a USB trackball and an ADB mouse, so that seems to rule out my first thought of it being somehow related to my USB card.) Is it worth trying the Debian build of XF86 4.2? (How would I add this to my apt sources list?) And if that doesn't solve the problem, what might I use to track down the problem? -- Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
