Most of these crashes I have been experiencing are full wedges. Of course, the screen blanker fixes any hope of seeing any output from the xconsole or anything else for that matter. Also, in the case of a hard wedge, any chance of it dropping into debug mode? Sam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
