Comment 1 lucas 2008-12-05 05:38:58 UTC
What graphics driver? Are you running 32- or 64-bit? Do you have blur enabled? If you have it enabled does disabling it fix it?
Comment 2 jason 2008-12-05 05:58:52 UTC
the drivers that I find installed are: NVIDIA binary Xorg driver and X.Org X server -- NV display driver. I am running 64-bit and blure was enabled.  I disabled it and restarted and it did not crash.  I will report back if I learn anything else.
