I am running 256.53 on amd64 current (r213747). I don't use anything linux (the module isn't loaded) and built the driver with all options off except ACPI_PM. My custom kernel does not have "device agp". I use XFCE 4, don't really run anything graphically intense, and shutdown at night. I haven't had any problems, but IIRC from your past threads, the issues sort of build over time so I simply may not be aggravating the problem enough. The system is a HP Pavillion dv6405us laptop with a GeForce Go 6150. This is a pretty crappy card, even in Windows (the whole system was $500 3 years ago - it was one of those computers that supposedly was "Vista Ready" but could barely boot it), so I doubt I am gaining much over vesa though. -- Rob Farmer
