Re: System freeze



Hi, I also have freezes on my system, mainly when the screensaver is
launched, the aperture size can be adjusted in the bios setup in my
case, but mine is on 128 Mb and is crashing
Linux compu 2.6.17-2-amd64 #1 SMP
xorg                7.0.23 
not using propietary drivers.

thx.
