Re: X freezing.
Hi Erik.
Thank you for the heads up. I did a shutdown and turned off the machine for a
few minutes. No lockups for about several hours, so, it looks good. The
only thing I still got happening is scattered letters and some "high order"
fonts on the screen as it's booting up (bios?). Once vesa takes over, the
"letter clutter" stops completely.
