I recently install CentOS 5.2 on an older pc Abit VP6 motherboard 2 x 1GHz PIII processors 1.5GB RAM Nvidia MX440 video
All works fine except when running X The display locks at ramdom times Sometimes it locks when I log in Sometimes it locks after several hours While it is locked I can ssh to this machine from another server I have to reboot to clear it Also when I reboot X starts with random resolutions
From research I see this has been a problem with Nvidia for several years
Can someone suggest a fix or a reliable video card I am not a gamer, I not not need anything fancy This is my xorg.conf
