Hello,

Lately, I have been having strange problems with the
XFree86 X server.

When I use X in low resolution, ie 640x480, there
are absolutely no problems.

When I switch to 1024x768, everything will work well
for up to a minute, then everything dies: The mouse cursor
no longer moves, I can't kill the server, and I cannot
even reboot the computer (using <ctrl><alt><delete>)!

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!
Gil
