No, Slackware. I haven't changed any hardware or software in the
last few months, but a few days ago my system started locking up a few
seconds after I started X. I'd cycle power, it boots OK (except for fsck that
has to run every time) and it is fine until I startx again. Preventing the
agpgart and radeon modules from loading fixed the problem. Except that
now, I don't have accelerated video. So, basically, my video acceleration
hardware is broken, and I don't know how to tell if it's the video card or
the mobo.
