NVidia chipset.  Sorry I haven't checked the kernel.  I'm now answering
your posting on another HD, FC5_64, same PC.

I think the PC is running on the latest kernel.  Just installed Ubuntu
yesterday and ran "apt-get upgrade" afterwards.

Ubuntu was runing without problem before lunch only Firefox having
problem.  After lunch I switched on the PC and X-server can't be
started.  It puzzles me.

Before I was testing Ubuntu-6.0.6-amd64 on this PC and have problem on
Firefox.  Therefore I erased it and installed Ubuntu-6.0.0-i386 still
having the same problem.

$ sudo killall esd
esd: no process killed

X-server still failed to start.
