Re: A very strange X problem
Joel, which kernel are you using? I am currently using 2.2.18pre21 for the DRI for the tdfx module. I was actually using this kernel for 2 weeks before it started to freeze on me, so I assume it's not the kernel's fault. I'm already leaning towards X4 on this one. Something must be wrong with the latest build/debs since this is new problem that just popped up. I noticed that X4 updates a lot out of the unstable tree and was thinking that one of the latest debs is buggy.

It just locks my screen with everything frozen except the mouse, which moves around fine. Maybe this isn't a hardware problem like I initially thought :)
