Xinerama problem? Why do you have to reset your computer? Do you get a black or garbled display? Do Num Lock and Caps Lock fail to respond? Try crashing X again and then ping your computer from a different host. If you get a response, then your computer isn't really halted. Then try telnetting in. See if you can bring down X through the remote shell (first use kill, and then if that doesn't work, kill -9). Also you might want to try strace or gdb to see what XFree86 is up to. top can tell you if X is caught in an infinite loop or similar (~100% CPU time). -- Andy Goth | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://ioioio.net/ End communication. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
