Camiel: I have a K6 350 in a ASUS P5 MB with 128MB RAM and an ATI 2MB video card (I dont'have video card info, can look it up if need be.) and Adaptec 2840 scsi controller. I had irregular freezes that I could only recover from by reset until I killed xdm. I use startx to crank up X now, and don't have those freezes. Never did figure out what was going on. I leave my machine on all the time, so startx once in a while is no bother. You might try killing xdm. --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly.

Re: X-WINDOW FREEZE
It is hard to diagnose a problem without knowing anything about circumstances. Is it happening at random or while you run a particular program? Check the logs after the restart, and ~/.xsession-errors file to see what can be potentially wrong. Andrew - Andrei S.

This is very annoying because I have to reboot my system by using the reset button, which in turn is a dangerous way of restarting linux. Is there a solution to prevent or avoid such a freeze ? don't know, but you still can telnet your box and run halt or kill xyz or you can use the sysrq key to sync/unmount/reboot. the sysrq key is available as a kernel option (2.2.x). -- name: Sebastian Stark email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ircnick: cran

I can't help you with a solution to the freeze problem. However, if your X-windows freezes, you can probably shut down X-windows only, by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace simultaneously. In this way you don't have to reboot your system with the reset button. Paul Huygen
