I came slowly to this conclusion myself that it must have something to do 
with the graphics.

I made that switch with RH7.1 some time ago with no problems.
7.1 runs on XFree86-4.0.3-5 and and 7.3 om XFree-4.2.0-8. It is there 
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 but I can not find anything specific as to what X 
server I am running. Must be my ignorance.

If you think that the problem might be in these XF86Config files and I have 
no problem with RH7.1, how about installing the kernel of RH7.3, libraries 
etc and then replacing the 7.3 XF86Config files with the ones of RH7.1.

BTW I posted the problem as well to the redhat-install list and somebody 
sugested
to turn off the apmd system (advanced power management) by unmarking
the "apmd" entry in ntsysv.
What do you think about that? Would that have something to do with tuxracer 
or chromium?
