I had a problem b4 that console blanking woudl freeze my pc.

so I turned it off and "solved" that issue.

NOW after having compiled X and kde, my pc crashes again in similar fashion, when I run xf86config.

so I assume there's something wrong with something I've compiled into my kernel incorrectly.. or something I'm missing.

any advice would be GREATLY appreciated, cause I can't get any further than here now!

To me it sounds like a hardvare problem. Can you post here your complete hardware list?

You might want to have a look at the VIA Arena Forums, and specially at the ASUS VIA chipset motherboards section. Many people have problems with VIA chipsets and the SBLive (e.g.: A7V133 + SB Live! 5.1 = No Problem Now). I hope you don't!

cool ta I'll check them out - I believe the problem with the via + sblive is restricted to when you have two hdd on the via chipset, but I have one hdd on a promise controller =)
