Jim, Thanks! Enabling NFS swap made a dramatic difference (no lockups), although it hasn't eliminated the crashes entirely.
One of my Jammin 125 clients was practically unusable, it would lock up and/or crash so often. With 128m NFS swap enabled, I was able to start it up and happily run more than a dozen programs without a lockup. So, thinking that maybe 128m was more than enough, I reduced it to 64m. The next user came along and had an X-server crash after about 5 minutes while playing a game. After that crash, I changed the swap back to 128m. The user's X session lasted about 30 minutes (playing a game) and then it crashed again. And again, after about 10 minutes of additional gameplay (tuxmath). Is 128m overkill? Is it enough? Is there anything else I can do to stop these crashes? The other Jammin clients crash much more rarely than this one. Could there be a hardware problem?
