screen freezes, ooffice with *.ppt, ATI, and xorg; was, Re: lenny amd64 for Desktop

[Don Montgomery <donm@methodbydesign.com>]

I rebooted with xorg.conf disabled, and X autoconfigured 
to a higher resolution than I have been able to get 
before, so something has changed, for sure.  I will carry 
on for a while, see if my crashes still occur, and report 
back.

Thanks very much, Don
