Using 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5, AMD 2700+ and KDE (all updated as of 4/20) 1.5G RAM and nVidia 4200 with binary only nVidia driver under Xinerama. Since the kernel really should not be able to be crashed like this someone here might be interested in tracking it, if nothing else to build up a number of common denominators. If this is of value I can be contacted off list for all the details. -- Steve Szmidt "For evil to triumph all that is needed is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke
