Hm. Well, fact is my X-server just stops working every two days or so
resulting in a *complete* freeze of the whole system (even the SysReq-keys
don't work) And no, there are no messages in /var/log/messages. Looks like
this error catches the kernel totally unprepared. There is no pattern to
these events, apart from unspecific mouse- and graphic-events (switching a
site in Netscape, playing a card in PythonSolitaire, having KDEhelp
displaying a man-page, reading a mail in kmail asf.).
I can't reproduce this error intentionally. And apart from that, everything
works just fine...
I even reinstalled M but the prob lingers on. Tried different kernel
versions (2.2.5, 2.2.6, 2.2.7) with different settings - no change. Happens
with KDE as well as with WindowMaker. So this is most likely hardware
related.
Some specs:
Mainboard is a Epox EP-MVP3G with a VIA Apollo MVP3 AGP/PCI chipset. 128
RAM (SDRAM, 100Mhz FSB), AMD K6-II 350 MHz. Mouse is a Logitech MM.
No trouble with that configuration within MS (well, apart from the usual,
that is :-). So it looks like there is something Linux specific involved
here...
If it's not the X server it can be *anything* <sigh>. Anyone knows of a
test suite that will check everything (CPU, RAM, Graphics etc) thoroughly?
Clueless
