[X4U] Mac Pro video crashes

[Ed Gould]

Doug:

Thanks for the information. I have had a lot of issues of *FROZEN*  
systems (currently 10.4.11). I was all over the place in guessing  
what is causing it. I thought I had it narrowed down to Safari and  
the RSS feed. I turn RSS feed to no and I still get the freezes but  
not as often as before when II had RSS feeds turned on.
I have a Radeon 9650 (I do like it).
