I installed the 2.0-950210-SNAP and run into problems. The symptoms are total blackout two or more times per day (has not yet hold up overnight or so). By total blackout I mean, that the display adapter dives suddenly into some sort of state, where the monitor gets no input (and, the machine does not answer to ping, keyboard gives no response etc.). It is like screensaver going active, but by the sound of the monitor (whizz..) there's more to it. This has happened both under X Window system, and without X, in an "idle" machine, and with work going on. I grabbed the release kernel (941204 version), and booted with that. So far the uptime is 12 hours, which will make me believe, that the problem does not occur with the release kernel. I'd like to know, if this is a know problem, and if there's a fix in the 'current' version. If this "should not happen", I could try to take a closer look of what's going on. The hardware is an older 486 (AST), 64kC, 8M, AMI bios, Trident 8900 vga chipset. I can dig into more details, if anyone's interested.
