Re: Re: latest pre-packaged kernel?
XFree86 v4.0.x are all very unstable for me on my Alpha PWS
with an old Matrox Mystique 220 card. Random freezes every
2-30 minutes so I have to ssh to it and kill X.
I haven't tried v4.1.0 though. v3.3.6 is stable. Not VERY
stable, it still dies every 2nd/3rd day or so, but it's
usable.
