I'm quite sure this is not the case. DISPLAY is set based on args to startx or |

X. It is the port number (minus 6000) used for TCP connections, not the |

Only with DRI enabled. My 9200 SE is 100% stable with it disabled. Thus, I run |

I've had a few instances where removing a module and reloading it fixes a |

problem... Other times, it completely screws up the system too, though. |
| 21 |
rmmod -f is handy on occasion, though dangerous.... |
