Hi,
I left out the end of the XFree log, which is the crucial bit, sorry!
Fatal server error:

Hi,
I've been happily using Knoppix 3.2 (hd install) for the past couple of months (after a number of years running SuSE and Red Hat). In the last week I've had problems with the X Server crashing, although I have made no changes to my configuration nor have I installed any new packages.
Typically what happens is that, in KDE, I switch to Konqueror (connected to google) and start to enter some text in the search field. Then the screen hangs and moments later is replaced by garbage. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, Ctrl+alt+f1 do not have any effect. However, the keyboard does respond to a ctrl+alt+del which reboots the machine.
It has also happened while starting to type an email address into Kmail - one letter and it hangs.
The XFree86 log shows the following:
(II) I810(0): Adding 768 scanlines for pixmap caching
(II) I810(0): Allocated Scratch Memory
(II) I810(0): [dri] Buffer map : 57d000

instdone: ff3a instpm: 0
memmode: 4 instps: 810
hwstam: 9ac7 ier: 0 imr: 9ac7 iir: 0
I understand that this type of error is usually encountered with multiple x servers; I am only running one.
I've spent the morning trawling the web looking for a solution. One suggestion is to comment out the 'Load "dri"' line in XF86Config.
Has anyone else encountered and solved this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Cormac.
