Hi Davide,

Thanks for the response!

I guess you're asking did I check that the NMI counts were rising (i.e.
they weren't staying at zero) and the answer, unfortunately, is yes -
they were increasing steadily.

I checked exactly as you suggested using "cat /proc/interrupts".

Then, I ran X up and "boom", that's all she wrote :(

Best wishes,

Dan.
