Not very well. About an hour after emerging the 2.9.1 drivers the
screen went black and I had to reboot to get back to the desktop. I
notice it only seems to happen while scrolling a window in firefox.
I've left the unit on overnight with no problem. When I get back to
ctrl-alt-f1. there is this msg repeated down the console.

Gdk - Warning*** XID collision trouble ahead.

FWIW, there is this tidbit in the boot console:
[...]
* Checking battery state...
error: libhal_ctx_set_dbus_connection: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound:
Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such
file or directory
[...]

we seem to be getting off-topic so I amended thesubject line

Oh wait, just rebooted, the message is still there but a few lines
below there is this:

*Starting D-BUS system messagebus . . .

which I remember seeing before but forgot to mention. I ran
dbus-daemon again as before with the same outcome.
