I'm not running AX25 on this box, but I do have a Soyo KTV7A with a VIA chipset here and an Athlon 1300. Video card is an Abit board with the GeForce 2 chipset. Solid as a rock running Debian Testing and a custom 2.4.18 kernel. I did some homework and found rave reviews on the Soyo board and my experience has vindicated the the reviews, Some other boards I read about were not so stable. John, have you tried dropping back to a simple window manager like IceWm? I use IceWm here, so I can't comment on KDE. 73, de Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | "We have awakened a Internet | n0nb@networksplus.net | sleeping giant and Location | Bremen, Kansas USA EM19ov | have instilled in him Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | a terrible resolve". http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | - Admiral Yamomoto
