I used st > f739843 (with scrollback), nano 2.7.0 and xorg 1.18.4 from Debian > unstable. What did you use? Can you send a backtrace? I didn't mean a 10 second scroll back - I just meant using PgDn a few times then maybe up, then down, after 10 ~ 20 secs X crashes... not the length of scroll. OK, my X is pretty old (maybe the problem): X.Org X Server 1.14.3 (Slackware 14.1) nano is 2.6.3 I will update nano first, I didn't realise there was a new release. I will then go through the steps again, and try to capture the crash from Xorg logs. Maybe it will be tomorrow now ~ too many beers already ;) Thanks for the help, Nick -- "Gosh that takes me back... or is it forward?
