[This must be a FAQ but I have not been able to find the answer]
Environment:
$ uname -a
Linux joefox 2.2.14-15mdk #1 Tue Jan 4 22:24:20 CET 2000 i686 unknown
$ rpm -qa | grep -i netscape
netscape-common-4.70-6mdk
netscape-communicator-4.70-6mdk
netscape-navigator-4.70-6mdk
I've met up with an occurence that makes surfing the
net in linux something that seems like it needs to
be worked on a bit. Perhaps there is something wrong
with my current version of netscape, and perhaps
there is something wrong with my configuration, but
perhaps the linux netscape is just plain broken. I
thought that by describing the problem I might be
able to ask people more knowledgeable than myself
which one of these was in fact true.
I find that when I visit sites that use java applets
for example:
http://www.pogo.com
http://www.soda.co.uk
things seem functional for a short period of time
(this time period varies slightly, I have never been
able to get through an entire game of chess though)
but then they freeze up. At this point, moving the
netscape windows causes everything in them to become
a uniform colour, and they can no longer be closed
using the "x" in the corner. The only way to get rid
of them is to kill -9 their pid. Has anyone else
experienced this problem or is anyone informed of
what the problem might be?
Thanks
