X dies unexpectedly

[James Diehl]

With AGP listed on some of these, after the crash, it
appears your Ubuntu is having a compatibility/support
problem with a graphics card.  Which one are you
using?  My Compaq has the onboard Nividia graphics and
so far no problem, but some of the ATI Radeon cards
are not supported.  I contacted ATI, and they said
they don't offer drivers for, or support Linux.  There
are some drivers/support pkgs. in the synaptic pkg.
mgr. for ATI Radeon & NVidia GLX.  On the other note;
I had trouble a few times running Ubuntu & XP on the
same machine.  Some people don't!  For some reason, my
Compaq doesn't like to run Linux and Windows.  I have
had to reinstall one, or the other several times.
