That happens to me at least once a day or more, depending on how
much I use X. I have a Cirrus 5446 PCI with 2M, and am running
2.0.35. Any attempts at contacting the X people, redhat, or
anyone else on any mailing lists have turned up no replies to a
fix, but have turned up other users with the same problems with
different hardware. Houston, I think we have a problem.
