I have a "freshly" installed system, so no extra software has been
installed except the Mandrake 7.0 install. When I use Netscape in xwin,
it will work, then suddenly will stop. I mean the page will stay on the
screen but when you click on a link, nothing happens. It just stays
there. Shut Netscape down, and then try to bring it back up, and nothing
happens, it merely "shrugs off" the attempt.
Now, if I bring up a virtual terminal and look in the .netscape
directory, there is a blinking file called lock. Delete this and netscape
loads fine...for a while.. Ideas, thoughts on how to clear this up?
and why does X freeze all the time?
it will work fine for a while, then I'll leave for work, with no apps
running, 8 hours later I'll come back home and low and behold x will have
frozen, pressing keys on the keyboard don't work, the mouse won't move the
pointer, nothing. I have to restart the computer.
