I read on the following page (http://linux-sxs.org/toshiba.html) that it
might be an acceleration problem.

I was just wondering if anyone else had the same problem and if so,
where do I put the "no accel" if that is indeed the problem.

If you need more information from me, let me know.

Thanks in advance,

Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "i810"
# Attempting to avoid video engine lockups...
Option "NoAccel" "On"
EndSection

Obviously you'll be looking for a "Device" section that's relevant to your
chipset - and try adding ``Option "NoAccel" "On"'' there.

If this makes your problem go away, the next step is to try disabling
individual accelerations to try to isolate the offender(s) (unless your
happy to live with all accelerations disabled).


Thanks for the help. I thought that was what I needed to do, but wanted
confirmation. Yes, it works beautifully now.
