Fixes kde crashing problems on my computer. I assume this is not a gentoo-specific issue. Hope this helps ya Jean-Matthieu (and anyone else who has a 600e on this list) --Nathaniel Grady On Thu, Dec 13, 2001 at 06:28:06PM +0100, SCHAFFHAUSER Jean-Matthieu wrote: > > > >I logged in via ssh, and top showed X was taking 100% cpu.

I tried several version of X and 4.0.2 seems to work fine. Again, this is maybe a very specific solution since my gentoo is running on a notebook.
