I have the crash after 20 minutes problem on a machine where I run gdm and gnome. I have no solution either. It's a PC, not a laptop. It uses an ATI Radeon 8500DV video card, and I'm running it in VGA mode for lack of better drivers. It does not happen on my other machine, where I am running xdm and icewm. I'm running gdm on the first machine because X crashed immediately when I used kdm -- kdm wouldn't come up at all. Maybe that's a related problem? -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
