Machine becomes totally unresponsive and I have to hold down the power button for 5 seconds to shut it off. Doesn't happen if I do a complete power off and then load X.

Warm boot of FreeBSD works fine here. I personally think it's a video card/driver issue since it only hangs upon loading X11. Console works fine. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O. Box 2605 // Cleveland, TN 37320-2605 423-559-LINK (v) 423-559-5145 (f) http://www.wingnet.net
