Are you running gpm? how does it perform? if it is ok, you could try using it as the initial mouse handler?

Subject: [Newbie]XFree86

I'm having problems with the XWindowing system randomly freezing on my PC104 embedded system.

Using:
Mandrake Linux 8.2. 
XFree86 4.2
PC104 i586 cpu
Chips & Technologies CT69030 graphics card w/ 4MB video ram.
driver= "chips"
Server= SVGA

XF86Config-4 file resembles...
Section "Device"
        Identifier "Chips & Technologies CT69030"
        Driver "chips"
        Option "Overlay"
        Option "FPMode" "False"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device "Chips & Technologies CT69030"
        Monitor "Sony 200SF"
        DefaultDepth    24
        Subsection "Display"
                Depth   24
                Modes   "1024x768"
        EndSubsection
EndSection
  • The system will work fine while using a Terminal...mouse movements in X windows freezes the system at random. 
  • I've tried KDE, GNOME, and ICE
  • I've tested different mouses...serial, PS/2...no difference.
  • I've tried REDHat Linux 7.3...no difference.
  • I'm am using straight linux binaries (not compiled on my system)
  • The system will not freeze if I use XFree86-3.3.6, but I have to use an "unlisted" driver and the FBDev?? Xserver.  Because of this, the Chips and Technologies card capabilities/resolutions can't be utilized (which I need).  I also have windowing problems with my needed applications using 3.3.6.
  • I've reinstalled and reinstalled and reinstalled Mandrake and Redhat...
  • I've tried just about every resolution combination.



I've noticed from your site that other people have problems with freezes also...but I haven't seen anything identical to my problem.  Any suggestions please???

Thankyou.
