- I have also noticed problems with GR2-Elan graphics on an Indigo. I am
- running 4.0.4 (waiting for 4.0.5 before I complain "officially"). I can
- faithfully reproduce a problem which causes the graphics to completely hang
- and kill the window manager. The syslog says:

- This is using "/usr/sbin/gdiff". This is a really cool application and I've
- grown so dependent on it that I don't remember how to use "diff" anymore :-(
- Visual Computing has its drawbacks, I suppose.
-
- I'm very happy with the Elan graphics' overall performance. Quite impressive
- for a desktop system. Now, what do I need to click to send post this
- article..
