X lockups
I'm running unstable on a 1GHZ Athlon with 768 MB RAM. About 3 months ago,
my GeForce2 card died and I replaced it with a GeForce4 MX. In the past
month or so, I have noticed that at random intervals, X will lock up, kick
me out, and xdm will restart. This morning, I sat down and tried to get
into it, and it wouldn't bring up the screen. I was able to ssh in from
another box, and found that xfree was running amok:
top - 07:44:38 up 4 days, 9:53, 5 users, load average: 2.44, 2.18, 1.96
Tasks: 101 total, 3 running, 95 sleeping, 0 stopped, 3 zombie

I am running unstable on other boxes, and have not seen this problem.
Ideas?

I have a telescope on the peephole in my door so I can see who's at the
door for 200 miles. "Who is it? Who is it gonna be when you get here?"
