>Description:

	The Xserver for XF4.1.0 using the NVIDIA GeForce2 MX
graphics card is unstable to login/logout, reboot, or any 
circumstances in which the Xserver is sent signals (e.g. SIGHUP,
SIGTERM).  The result is a hung machine (no keyboard response).

>How-To-Repeat:

	kill the xserver with SIGHUP from virutal console one or more
times until hang.

>Fix:
	back out to FX4.0.3
