I also have an S3 VLB viedo board and run XFree86 2.1.1. When building X and during some other task the IDE disk light sometimes goes solid and the machine freezes for about 5 seconds. It sometimes recovers from this and continues but other times it halt for good. I also suffer from the segmentation faults when building kernel problems. I used to not have such problems until recently when I 1) upgraded from 1.1B to 1.1R and 2) installed the S3 board (I used to run an old Diamond Speedstar). No twiddling of the memory waitstates and bus parameters appears to make any difference for me. If anyone can help (or if you just want to be sympathetic) please send me some e-mail. I like to hear from you :-) regards, -Jim. -- *** James Tsillas jtsilla@ccs.neu.edu *** *** Work: (508)898-2800, Home: (617)924-3908 *** *** "He is after me.
