I've complained about lockups in the past. I have uninstalled xscreensaver 4.14 and my PC has not locked up for two days so far. What worries me is that a poorly writen or buggy program can lock up my machine hard so that only a hard reset will cure it. I am using: XFree86 Version 4.3.9

ound for a bug in XFree86 that could cause lockups. Does this bug still exist? Here is link to the driver: http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html I guess my personal suspicions that it was only locking while I was using the touchpad could have had some merit. I am sorry I did not me

I am using XFree86 4.3.0 on a Debian Sid system with kernel 2.6.0-test4. Before I file a formal bug, I wanted to verify that it wasn't already fixed in the CVS HEAD. I have a Radeon M7. The XServer locks up the machine every now and then. When it locks up, the machine will still repsond to ACPI ev
