I do experience a display hanng though. I only know this to be an issue with X - I haven't played with anything else yet. (7.1-BETA, -CURRENT unknown.) ATi Rage 128 Pro. Also, Justin, I envy you your machine. It sounds frickin' sweeeeeet. :) -- Horst [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkj9pm4ACgkQRtTtv0BbTe7QYACfWqHdlGgiv2xv6IhFXe8UX7bw scgAn36ZxWnIxW53WD37SUFktgh/tkBO =BXR2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
