Hi all,

here's the thing...

been trying to set up a FreeBSD box...
for any of...

FreeBSD 5.3 or 5.4 in conjunction with X and either gnome or KDE

or Linux (UBUNTU) in conjunction with X and gnome

at some point or other (usually during, shortly after loading, or within a  
few minutes of loading) has a meltdown causing total
system shutout...

my best guess atm is the NVidia onboard graphics is giving me attitude.

any help please? Been messing with this now for about 4 months and it's  
getting me down...
