->I'll bet it's those ATI drivers you're using. Go back to nvidia. My 
->system is solid as a rock :)

I'm using the same XFree86 4.2.0 drivers that I've used under 7.3, 8.0
and now 8.1. I'm not using the binary only drivers...they don't have any
for the 7xxx series.

I've replaced the default X . files in my home directory with copies
from a dummie account that I created. We'll see if it was a setting that
I used before but doesn't work now.

I had more issues with nVidia's binary drivers then I care to talk
about. I had 4 co-workers machines simply not work with the nVidia
drivers and after a couple days of messing with these boxes I came into
work the following day and MY workstation suddenly with no help from me
started erroring in the same mannor as my co-workers. Even though I had
had this setup for the better part of 2.5 months. It was sudden blow up.
After I switched both my home machine and work machine to ATI cards I
had no issues. I have the same setup at work still and it runs like a
champ. It must be something else. And it only happens in X. So I figured
it was a . file that I had in my ~/.
