E. Accelerated X does NOT crash the OS. It will NOT lock it and NOT freeze it. Never have to "Only way out is to reboot". Netscape crashes often is the most serious offender but it NEVER CRASHES AcceleratedX server. there are others. (I have NEVER seen Roaches do it) Windows will do this too with some programs.

I've used it with about a dozen different video cards. I even set multihead with two different manufacture's video cards. ALL of the statements of the first paragraph are true. Tom Watson tosiwme
