I've got a Linux powerpc system (Mac G4 cube running Debian 3.0) with a GeForce2 card in it, which is mostly working with X but is having problems.
It's running a locally built version of X from CVS, and it starts and runs just fine. It is fast and very solid feeling. However, after a bit of use the display becomes unresponsive. The mouse pointer is still perfectly responsive, but no windows update and none are able to receive input. Exactly how long it takes for this to happen seems like it may be related to the display resolution and/or color depth, but it is usually less than 30 minutes. There are no warning signs before it happens. Once the display is locked like this, it is impossible to regain control of it without rebooting. I can't switch to another virtual console, nor can I kill the X server with Ctrl+Alt+BS. Nothing at all abnormal is output on stdout or stderr by the X server. I have tried different sets of clients, but this behavior doesn't seem tied to a particular one. Does anybody have any suggestions about what to do? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
