Hi

I checked them out and they look similar but not quite the same. In
their cases they were able to go in through ssh and kill X.
In my case, the network also freezes up, I get timeouts when pinging
the computer.

I am not using a nVidia driver, it is a "sis" driver. Xorg detected a
SiS530 video system.

Still, let me do some testing with RenderAccel
