I was unable to use XF86 3.x because the machine has a display with a resolution of 1400x1050 (which XF86 3.x apparently doesn't cope with for the ATI Rage Mobility). Information about how I set the machine up is at http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/laptop.html -- briefly, I've been tracking both -STABLE & -CURRENT daily (with a few exceptions). Though I do most of tthe work on the machine in -STABLE, I do not recall encountering the symptoms mentioned by Michael Robinson, and I do fire up netscape & a few other things in -CURRENT as a reality check fairly often. If there's a more specific sequence of events for causing the observed failure, I'll be happy to try the sequence after today's -CURRENT finishes building, and report back. Cheers, david -- David H.
