I've had similar problems to what was noted by MKB but an older setup. I'm running 5.0-RELEASE on my I8K with the Mobility Radeon 7500 (M7 chip with 64MB) configured with XFree86-4.2.0_1,1 and DRI compiled from CVS from around Jan 30 of this year. What I found was that the system ran completely stable as long as no X was running at all. I tried: stock X from cd with 5.0 modules stock X from cd with CVS DRI modules stock X from cd with overlayed CVS DRI including modules stock X from cd with overlayed CVS DRI with 5.0 modules X from CVS with 5.0 modules X from CVS with DRI CVS modules X from CVS with overlayed CVS DRI including modules X from CVS with overlayed CVS DRI with 5.0 modules all permutations of above both with and without DRI enabled all permutations of above under gnome with and without screensavers activated and also vanilla twm with no screensaver at all Whatever I did, X would run fine for a while and then at an unpredictable time it would all just freeze. It is not responsive to anything at all (including network access) except for hard power off by holding down the button for 5 seconds. I've even seen this freeze on the console when X is running. I haven't tried to update (because of my efforts to get the install to act as a server for ppc work I was hesitant to change anything) so I can't say anything for the newest software but I did try the combinations above into February. I finally gave up on trying things and left X off when working with 5.0 except for VERY short timeframes (I also have two installs of 4.7 that work fine on the same disk). I concluded that the problem lay in the OS somewhere, but I don't know if this fits in with your observations. Sean
