I can start QEmu as root without problems and I've run memtest86 for more than 
6 hours without negative results. Could it be some kind of hardware 
incompatibility? The crashes happen only while QEmu is in graphics mode. I 
have a GForce 4 Video card with 128 MBytes, an Athlon and the rest is pretty 
standard stuff.
