It manages to completely lock my computer when running the following version 
of X. X just starts gobbling up memory and then the whole machine freezes. 
This is the version which comes with Debian Woody. It works on my machine 
(across the network) with XFree86 version 3.3. The problem may be specific to 
the savage driver (for my Savage IV card).

BTW - Anti aliased fonts really suck on a laptop - who wants fuzzy edges on a 
(liquid) crystal clear display.
