    I've been running a patched XFree4 for almost two year and now debian=

    sarge XFree with no other troubles than starting XFree on the proper
    card first (with bruby-2.4 it was the AGP one first).

    When moved to faketty + 2.6.x and still the same debian XFree, I had =
to first
    run X on the PCI card in order to "initialize" it before loading
    faketty. then the startup order doesn't matter.

    in both cases I always used the latests nvidia closed source drivers,
    involving a lot of GL-3D (that's our software project) and this
    without any crash, by using either kernel built-in AGP or nvidia's.

    the only time to time crash I experienced (1 per week) where complete=

    solved long time ago by removing a faulty RAM on my mainboard.
