Re: X server causing IE lockups
The common thing seems to be vncclient. I guess I'll check on the vncclient list and see if there are any clues. Are we on our own? I will try to start vncclient after I start X and see if that matters. Have you tried sorting this out at all? Gentlemen start your finger pointing! It's vncclient! No, it's Xfree! No it's winxp!

Is anyone else seeing these kinds of issues? Same problem since I updated to the new X.org 7.4: I have xwin crashes. Also with XP and also using a vncclient (TightVNC) This is how it happens: - suddenly, all network connexions (cygwin and windows) stop working (no internet...). rxvt freezes - when I kill xwin (kill -9 from the cygwin bash shell), all works again. - often, at the same time, windows clipboard does not work any more. - this happens 1-2 times a week roughly.
