Though the more recent versions of that driver seem to have mostly fixed my issues, it still gives intermittent problems. As a result, I have since been using the Xorg nv driver. What made the problem worse is that I couldn't get any debugging information, no matter what debugging options I had built into the kernel. Just mentioning this in case you _are_ willing to do this. In my case, I wasn't able to grab anything useful. (By the way, does anything except 'minfree' exist in /var/crash ?) -- Glen Barber
