I've been having this same problem with 1.1 and XFree86 3.1.2, although it locks up after much more varied time intervals -- sometimes immediately, o sometimes after 10-20 mins, sometimes not at all.

I was going to try running -current to see if that would fix it -- guess not. -- Carl Harris EXECUTIVE Scapegoat ceharris@mal.com http://www.mal.com/~ceharris
