And no log exist of the events, so I have no clue to what happened. First crash occured while I played heavy around with portsupgrade. Suddenly, reboot without any warnings. That puzzled my quite a bit. Only thing to note, was that up to the crash portupgraded spewed out a few errors in regard to SVGA-lib (some checking I think it was, no installing). After reboot same portupgrade-procedure gave no errors. Second crash, just upgraded to linux_base-7.1 (shouldn't it install XFree 4.1 instead of 4.0.3?) and wanted to test the GLX-capabilities with linux-q3a from ports. It didn't, hard crash! ;) Third crash occured just out of the blue. Only thing out of the ordinary was that 5-10 minutes earlier Konsole made one of it's rare crashes after some testing of mplayer (ran it from konsole). Until now, the only incidents of crashes I can recall, have been when testing windows-games with wine (never succeeded in that! ;)). That made X (4.0.3) crash and taking BSD with it. Kinda sounds like some sort of HW-error like faulty RAM or something. But wouldn't I then see more errors/crashes? Like in compilations, where I get no errors? I've just upgraded to XFree 4.1 recently (1-2 weeks ago) including drm etc., and it *could* be the reasons?
