Hi, Sorry for the somewhat vague subject. And sorry for the shabby formatting but I have to use webmail just now. I have a new (as in a couple of months old) machine. The specs are: 2.4 G P4, i845 integrated graphics card, 512 ram, 80G hdd, 15 inch Sony tft monitor. I have FC4 and Kubuntu 5.10 on the machine. The problem I face is that every once in a while, the X server crashes. In FC4 I am back at the graphical login prompt. In kubuntu I just lose the display completely and I have to shutdown. This can happen as frequently as once every 5 or 10 minutes :( Sometimes I get kernel panic messages when the Xserver crashes. Another thing is that in FC4, both Firefox (upgraded to 1.0.7 from fedora updates) and Opera crash very frequently. Also Gkrellm crashes suddenly. I have tried launching both opera and firefox from a terminal but there are no error messages when either crashes. I goolged for Xsever crashes w/ i845 on google. It seems to be an old problem (end 2004). The solution was to recompile the kernel to include the i915 driver, but it is already in the kernel and is seen as being found in Xorg.log. I am at my wits' end, the hardware chappie as usual is no help. I've run memtest but with no errors coming up.
I have also update xorg from fedora upgrades but no luck. I can provide any more info as required. regards, Sharukh. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
