Up until 1.3.8x I never had a problem in XFree86. Now I'm getting lockups and crashes, esp in 16bpp -- it'll suddenly crash with a signal 11. Even in 8bit mode I've had it suddenly freeze completely, just as an earlier poster described. It could just be 16bpp -- I have a Cirrus GD5428 card and it's not known to be the best card under XFree. But I have had it crash without netscape running at all, I'll just be in an xterm, with possibly exmh running somewhere else on the desktop.
I never had a problem with 1.2.13 or the earlier 1.3.x kernels in this particular respect. BTW I use a PS/2 mouse ....
