The XFree86 documentation says it's fully supported, and it has always worked before with XFree86 3.x release and earlier. Furthermore, I noticed someone had the same exact problem on a different machine with a Diamond Stealth video card. Any help on how to debug the problem would be greatly appreciated. I've got a core dump, but don't know where to begin, or how useful it might be without symbols. Any help?- Paul A.
