Amancio Hasty: |We may have to file a bug report with the X server group to see if we can |get them to help us out. I will be honest with you every day I use |fxtv and I don't get a crash -- once I did get the font corruption and |the system didn't craash however I have not been able to reproduce it. | |My take is that is probably more to do with the PCI chipset. |The "mistery-bit" on the Bt848 is supposed to be a work around for |the Natoma chipset. I still don't know what is supposed to do other |than what I stated. All I am saying is that is difficult to troubleshoot |on my PPRo . Guess that I will have to switch testing to my P100 which |does have a Natoma chipset. Back from the weekend... Interestingly enough, since Mark/my/your latest round of driver mods, I'm not able to hang the X server anymore. Tried hard, but no can do. :-) With the font refresh corruption immediately preceding the lock-ups and the fact that only the X server crashed, sounded like it was most likely X server corruption to me. Given this, I'm inclined to think fxtv or the bt driver might have had a hand, and its since been fixed (as that's all that's changed). I've got a few guesses as to specific changes, but hey!, I'm not gonna complain. Randall
