Although it doesn't hang the machine. Usually just fonts in vc1 are messed up. So, it's not MTRR nor AGP problem. It must be something in XFree86 tdfx driver. Accelerated-X doesn't show this problem. - Jussi Laako -- PGP key fingerprint: 161D 6FED 6A92 39E2 EB5B 39DD A4DE 63EB C216 1E4B Available at PGP keyservers
