If it turns out that this option eliminates the crashes a patch could be provided that e.g. includes a scripts which adds the ‘EXANoComposite’ option to Xorg.conf. > If you can identify a fix for your particular issue, adding that to the > driver in lenny is possible; otherwise one option would be to get a > newer driver in the backports.org repository, which could also improve > support for some newer hardware, but I don't have any lenny machines on > intel hw, so I wouldn't be able to do any testing for that. A newer driver (and complete X server?) in backports could also be a possible solution if it is feasible to resolve all dependencies. I could help with testing but you have to give me instructions what I shall do because I’m just an “average” Linux user and no expert. Best regards Raphael
