and consider going the other way - I am using 1.8.2 (xorg-server) which |
| 20 |
is more stable for me than the 1.7 series. |

However, some idea on what your system is may help - certain |
| 23 |
combinations (xorg-server-1.7.x, inetl driver and tuxonice hibernate are |
| 24 |
problematic, others are fine with certain workarounds. |

Can you provide more info such as video card and what the crash is? The |
| 27 |
actual xorg version should be something like 7.4-r1 so I presume you |
| 28 |
quoted xorg-server? |
