Hi,
I just did a fresh re-install of LM7.2 on my laptop and chose X4.0.1 instead of
3.3.6 this time.
Now, when I try to access a virtual console, X crashes and restarts into kdm.
The actual sequence is:
- press C+A+F1 or C+A+F[2-6]
- if f[2-6]: vc[2-6] appears momentarily
- switches to vc1
- X restarts to kdm, losing all applications
Before figuring out that it was X itself that was crashing, I installed KDE2.1
which gives the same results.
Anyone have a clue as to what may be the source of this crash on a freshly
installed system...?
Thanks,
Pierre
This is an strace of xinit and C+A+F1...
