Re: geforce2 'rapid' screen save

[Herbert Ho <hho@uiuc.edu>]

I mispoke. I have 4.0.2 xfree86. regardless, I left my computer off
for the evening and the problem went away in the morning. and actually
switching back to the 'nv' server that comes with the stock xfree had
the same problem last night.

maybe it's just bad hardware? or bad cooling? i tried ghetto cooling
my box by blowing a fan into the case, but it didn't help any. =)

*sigh* guess that's what happens when you buy from hp.

thanks for all the suggestions.
