The hardware change has been the motherboard, RAM and sound (using onboard audio). (Mous= e doesn't work either, the PS/2 port was damaged. have to get it replaced). Sound works fine (device pcm). I haven't recompiled the kernel. Don't see any point in doing so. Is there any specific options that is required for the A7V333 ? Anyway, I'll try out Scott's solution in i686_mem.c. Gautham _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Yes, this behavior (the reboot) is exactly what happened when I had apm enabled. If Scott's solution *does* work, please let us know. I'm not sure that it will. The fix for Scott's problem was committed in late April. I've built world more than once since then, which means I should have the fix. Nevertheless, when I enabled apm just a few days ago, I suffered the spontaneous reboots on starting X. If Scott's fix doesn't work, then you need to remove apm_enable=3D"YES" from /etc/rc.conf, insert 'disable' between 'nexus?' and 'flags' in the apm line of your kernel and recompile it, and remove any apm* device from /dev. In order to shut down you'll have to keep the power switch pressed for 4 seconds, but IMO that's quite a bit better than the alternative.
