What's your video card and window manager? I was having trouble with windowmaker (and I think a few others were too), but those went away when I switched to any other window manager (I tried a few). Also, OpenGL apps are still not totally solid with my rage128 card (said after having just played tux racer for a half hour straight :-) so those have been factors for me having similar lockups. - David Nusinow [EMAIL PROTECTED]
