I'm pretty sure it's not. I noticed, however, that if I run FastVid from a DOS boot, then do a "soft reboot = CTRL+ALT+DEL" the chipset/CPU isn't reset! So I get nice fast video with my 82450GX chipset PPro. Happy. However, on several occasions, it has caused AccleX, xdm, fvwm to core dump -- to the point that xdm wouldn't even start up again :-( If I do a hardware reset everything starts working again. Overall, _my_ system seems quite stable with the FastVid stuff turned on, but it does seem to be a problem some times... -Mark > > --------------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | RingZero Comp. vinyl.quickweb.com/mark | --------------------------------------------------- "To iterate is human, to recurse divine." - L.
