I have the same problem here but on a Mepis box ran fine on Mandrake 9.2 from 
the day I built it (about a week after M9.2 came out). Now it keeps freezing 
& is very jerky in graphics. This on a savage4 card using savage driver 1024 
x 768 24bpp this was fine under 2.4.? but this new system is 2.6 .
 Again I cannot find a log that shows any problem.
