JDK - latest 1.1.7 from Blackdown Hardware - IBM300PL (450 Mz Pentium II), 128 Mb RAM, S3Trio3D (Redhat 5.2 updated for 2.2.0 Kernel XServer: XF86_FBDev and "XdbDisable" in XF86Config file) OR (Redhat 5.2 with original 2.0.36 Kernel Accelerated X-Server) I have a strange problem which only seems to impact my Java programs. Basically, I can start my Java Swing application once successfully. However, if I exit and try to restart it, then it hangs on the statement "new JText_Area(..". I can cancel the program. So my XServer is not hung. Also other programs, like emacs, Netscape, etc., all run just fine. So I assume that the problem lies with the JDK and not with the XServer. Even if I kill the XServer and restart it, I still cannot execute my Java application. The thing that seems strange to me is that I can overcome the problem in the following ways: 1. Run the java command in verbose mode and have the verbose output go to the screen. If the verbose output is redirected, then the program still hangs. 2. Remove the "XdbDisable" from the keyboard section of my XF86Config file. This line disables some of the changes made in the later version of the XServer. Unfortunately, if I leave these changes enabled, then the home, end and arrow keys do not function correctly in my Java program. In order to support my video card, I either need to use the Accelerated X-Server from Xi Graphics or the free XServer with frame buffer support. But using either of these causes the Java problem. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions. Cynthia Jeness
