Seems unlikely! > Had nothing to do with fetchmail? Possible. I don't know but properbly not but I have notice that Nvidias own drivers does not seem to like more than one X display. If i change between my virtual xdm screens then xdm trys to start again and again. But at least one virtual xdm login screen the one that I first log on to. Offcourse I want to too work but It does not seem to function to one hundred procent. I have get it working one time but then when I loged out on the one of the virtual xdm screens that one died. But Im thinkning of changing back to X own nvidia drivers because they seem to be more stable for me. And the do not crash the hole system. But then I can't get movies of getting fast enought to watch but perhaps its only an config error or using the right video output. I also have to use software rendring for GL/glx etc and that is not fast.
