You know I had been wondering about my crashes too so I downloaded KDE
1.1.2 and stored it on my storage HD with all the suse 6.2 updates from
the ftp site, then I reinstalled fresh.  This time i just installed the
'minimal' package with make,patch and gcc added.  Then I installed all
the SuSE update packages that matched those packaged I had installed.  I
let the installation process finish initializing the system, then I
compiled kernel 2.2.12.  This time I disabled 'PCI Quirks' though.
Rebooted the new kernel and then installed the rest of my normal
packages and there appropriate updates.  I have only had about 3 KDE
freezes since then and they weren't hard locks.  <ctrl><alt><bs> killed
the session and brought me back to KDM.  Still haven't singled out what
is causing the lockup though...  but my system is definately more stable
now.
