Gnome or X is frequently dying on me whenever :

i set my mouse to 7 buttons in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4    (What is the
difference between this file and the file without the 4???) - i have an
intellimouse with 7 buttons with the scroll mapped as the right axis.

i leave my computer on overnight ( downloading something ) and when i
return i see that the download is finished but the xserver seems to be
on a loop where it keeps on trying to load the server and stops every 5
minutes.

i try and use nvidias drivers/kernel.

Can anyone help?

Also i could not get any kernels to work/compile unless i used the new
test12 for 2.4. I heard it was problems with the new development version
of gcc? can anyone elaborate please?

I am using RH7 with recent errata update , nvidia tnt2 m64 video card,
intellimouse explorer, pc150 ram, p3 850.
