Ok, looks like your video-driver was using up too much resources. |
| 16 |
Either with all the desktop-effects or with something else. |

I can't help further with ATI-issues as I don't use them myself. |

I do know that I need to change more then just the driver in my xorg.conf when |
| 21 |
using nvidie-drivers. Am wondering if your crashes occured because of a |
| 22 |
similar issue. |
| 23 |
Eg. the "dri" module is only for the ATI-driver and not for the open-source |
| 24 |
one? |
