Has any one tried 2.6.17-3. 2.6.8.1 (sarge i386) keeps crashing on boot with a GF FX5200se agp card on an i845 mobo (onboard vga disabled). However booting with on board graphics enabled is fine. Strangely running X with Xinerama with both on board and the FX5200 and two monitors works like a charm - except for tvout on the FX5200

Booting with 2.4.27 solved the crash on boot problem. Using vesa driver instead of nv in X got the tv out working (clone mode). So now i can use the tv as a fuzzy monitor. But vlc works great. Next will try nvidia drivers on 2.6.17-3 and 2.4.27. BTW Suse 10.1 with a 2.6.13 kernel also crashes.
