Okay Jeferson, Believe it or not, you and I have nearly identical systems. I'm using an A7V Mobo with 512Meg of ram, and a TNT2 video card. Our kernels, X and drivers appear to be very similar. (I just installed Mdk 8.2, and the versions are identical or very close.) What I found rather quickly was that the NVidia drivers suck big time. :) Go into the Mdk Control Panel, then into the X configuration, turn off the video acceleration. This took care of the problem for me -- I've had my system up for a couple of weeks since I made this change. // George
