Its not just the Powerbook my G4 towers, A 800 mhz G4 and my DP 450mhz G4
also have the same problems.  Another problem is with Darwin Pure 6.8 they
just released, if you try to start X, the server starts then freezes. 
Apple has pulled the update, but I have tried to get a straight answer to
no progression.  Im going to try something new and if it works I will post
it.
