Hi frogger3099!

try reconfiguring your X to use minimal resources (lower resolution, basic
screens, etc) or maybe you should try XFree86-4.0?

If i exit x the screen goes to a bunch of crazy letters and numbers and i lose control.  if i try to halt the computer from x after the screen blanks out it goes to the crazy letters and numbers and freezes.  I've tried using alt+ctrl+del but it doesn't work, i have to hit the reset button and wait for it to go through the fsck stuff.  I've tried to use apm by typing apm -e disable  then i've also tried apm -e disable -h disable -d disable.  I've even tried using apm -e enable,  apm -e enable -h enable -d enable and i still come up with the same results.  does anyone have any suggestions?
