not yet, i will compile one and try it out. this is a fresh install, i moved
from 2.2.0 --> 2.6.* overnight .. previous versions of GEM on a 2.6.0 kernel
on this same box worked however.

this is not my experience however. i play quake3, write / compile / test GL
applications, model in blender... GEM offers a new 'context' here ;)

mine may not be a *total* lockup but sshd doesn't hear me, i can't ping the
box, and sysreq doesn't help...

hmm this is a possibility.. this xserver is about a week old.

yep i have tested on a 2.6.0 (stable TM) and yesterday i compiled a 2.6.1
(which fixed alot of other little annoyances albiet).
:: and hooray it works.

those words make me feel isolated from my computer, but i'll get over it.
:: i thought guenter is right that this is a plain kernel issue, so 2.6.1

humm not here!
thanks all, i'll try a stock 2.4.* all the same, though because of some
peripheral and performance dependencies i can't roll back from 2.6.* without
breaking my rig.
hasta luego,
