That is not the bug that I was searching for. The bug above was pretty 
bad but was caused by the compiler. The other one fixed by accident was 
related to X crashing unpredictably. (The whole X server crashed but the 
screen still showed information which was present at the crash)
The error stopped when the driver was changed to accommodate dual head 
operation for the intel i830 which broke support for the intel 810/815 
video cards.

I'll just grab the xorg.conf tomorrow for the Intel 865G system that I 
have away from home.

Thanks!

I'll try the advanced search feature to see if I can locate the bug for 
the netscape mail addy. I was using the default search which showed 
zarro bugs.
