Some more interesting results...

I just have changed video board (impedance/reflection problems with the
other one) and got a Matrox. Now, I managed to run xquake three times
with a 32 bpp setup, and no (apparent) problem, safe that x size is
halved. Since it was something new, I then tried to restart the xserver
with -- -bpp 16, and got the most real crash in my whole linux life...
black screen, no ping reply: a completely dead system.

Alan???

Just looked through /var/adm, no single oops or Ugh!!!

An afterthought:

Marnix <mx@noa.student.utwente.nl> tells the oops he got came from ipfw...

Could we be positively convinced the

> Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
> c00000d5
> current->tss.cr3 = 01919000, |r3 = 01919000

is not a quake side effect? You know, I'm getting pretty scared of all
those monsters...

Yours
