Not really, It kinda gets stuck in graphical mode. I try switching to a t=
ty,=20
and the x sessions stays on screen (even though I am on the tty, I can lo=
g=20
in, type ^G and hear it) even though it's not accesable till i go back to=
 the=20
x tty. Also, when I type stuff, the display wraps around to the left as i=
ff=20
bits were being pushed into a buffer.

It should also be note that this happens mostly at random, and I have bee=
n=20
unable to intentionaly reproduce it.

I ought to be able to upgrade X, mandrake installed 4.03, and I managed t=
o=20
get 4.10 working on my own.

Best back up my filesystem up first in case I screw things up
