------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-25 00:29 ------- I also get X crashes every once in a while. I am using XFree86-4.3-5mdk I have been seeing these crashes since 4.2.99.3, with every single version after that until the current 4.3-5mdk. I did not have these crashes with XFree 4.2 in my Mandrake 9.0 system. I suspected of WindowMaker as the cause, but I have seen it happen with other window managers too. I wonder whether it may have to do with the NVidia driver I am using (Version: 1.0-4191), and I also had the crashes with Version 1.0-3123. In my case I cannot associate the crash with any specific action. Sometimes it is while Mozilla 1.3 is loading a webpage. Other times it is while working on a OpenOffice.org documento. The symptoms are always the same: The whole screen freezes. I can only move the mouse. Keyboard does not respond. xmms continues to play the song it was playing, but after that song is over, it does not continue with the playlist. Sometimes the crash seems to happen when I switch (with the keyboard) from one desktop to another (I use several desktops in my window managers). In order to recover, I have to log on remotely, and kill X with "killall -9 X". It is the only way X will die and get restarted. After this, the text consoles are useless: The screen buffer seems to get stuck with the last picture of the X crash, and all can be seen is a distorted image. The X server comes up again, and I can login again and work without problems (until the next crash). The loging screen (I use GDM) does not come back up on tty v7, though. It comes up on v8. These crashes are not too rare. I am having about 1 crash every 3 days or so. I could not find any more information in any logs in the system. (my machine is an Athlon 1400, Nvidia NV11 Geforce2 MX/MX 400, Adaptec AHA-2940U2/W, 512 MB ram). ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Since upgrading to 9.2 RC2, I've had several xserver crashes.
