Hello,

I just upgraded my Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDT laptop to
NetBSD-1.6 so that I could use a Netgear FA411 with it. The
FA411 appears to work fine, as does NetBSD in general.  I'm
having problems with X though:  after a few seconds it will
lock up hard, forcing me to hit the machine's reset button.

Is the problem likely to be with the newer XFree86?  If so,
is there a comfortable way to fall back to the earlier X
under NetBSD-1.6? Roam's kernel config file and dmesg output
can be found at...
