I removed the ATI Radeon AGP card from my machine and reverted to the onboard i915 Intel video and no more problem. I think there may be something not quite right with the Xorg Radeon driver (or is it the radeon.ko?), or maybe even the hardware itself as what finally prompted me to remove the card was that I began to see more and more artifacts on the display - at its worst, my white-background xterms were becoming unreadable due to a growing reddish tinge that could only be cured by 'wiping' one xterm with another! Thanks for the help. joel -- Joel Hatton -- Infrastructure Manager | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland | WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: auscert@auscert.org.au
