Hi!
I posted a mail not very long ago about my xfs problem.
Unfortunately nobody answered about this problem.
In the meantime I tried to search for a solution, but with no success.
I try to write down here everything that I know about this porblem:
The problem is that when I connect to the ISP, and try to browse the net, my X
freezes, and my keyboard is locked (NumLock, ScrollLock and CapsLock don't
changes the led), but I think that machine is working, just the keyboard is
locked. I think this because HDD light is working (lighting for some time).
Unfortunately this machine is not in network, and here is no network now, so
I'm not sure in this. (Can I somehow check this out?)
After thefreeze I don't now other way than reset the machine.
In the first time I figured out that my xfs dies, and that couses the freeze.
Unfortunately I couldn't generate any error msg-s (nothing in
/var/log/messages).
Then I removed xfs usage from XF86Config-4, and linked in statically the
fonts (I took the paths from the xfs config file), and also removed all fonts
that startx told me that it could not init that font path element.
Then I tried again web browsing.
Unfortunately freezing is continueing.
Sometimes mouse continues to work (to move on screen), but I can do nothing
with it.
I tried all web browsers I have (Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, Konqueror).
Every time freeze is happening.
I also thought that the freeze is becouse I use kppp from gnome to connect to
the ISP, so I go into KDE, and start there kppp and Konqueror, but it froze
too...
(mouse was moveing, but nothing can do with it, keyboard was locked...)
Below is my XF86Config-4 file,
two hash-marks (##) mean that startx told me that it could not init that font
path element, and three hash-marks (###) mean that in those directorys are
empty.
I use RedHat 7.3, I didn't upgrade nothing in it.
Please tell me what can I do, or how can I search for problems,
and what informations I should tell you.
The biggest problem is that my keyboard locks, and I don't now any
possabilities other than reset, for bringing machine back to life.
And so any information that I could get is lost.
In /var/log/messages I don't find any information.
The only thing that could be usefull is:
Sometimes modprobe tells that it can't locate some char modules, like:
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-22
Please tell me, what can I do...
Thanks in advance,
Akos
