The main problems I've had with X confusion (such as inappropriate
grabbing ;) have resulted from booting with speed step on so that the
CPU calibration was off and it thought my 700 MHz was only a 120 MHz.
When this happens, expect X to behave erratically. This is consistent
for both my A20m and when I used to use a 600X.
Regards,
Mark
