AMD K6-3 with 512MiB, running a custom 2.6.9 with no patches and the
nvidia module. I'm with sarge and no strange packages at all (but some
woody packages that disappeared at sarge and I need, related to
graphical design).

Also, running it from a xterm does not show stderr nor stdout abnormal info.
