I'm game, but everytime I've pulled cvs, I couldn't get it to compile. Now I'm no guru, but I do C for a living, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out the various issues. I'll give it another spin though. When you say let it hang, I'm not sure I understand. What I believe is happening is a panic of some sort, which would seem to indicate to me that there is no further log activity. I've checked the xfree log under /var/log and it appears to me that the logging has stopped and there's no real useful information. Are you suggesting that if I'd wait long enough, X would give up and I'd have access to the box again? If so, I'd like to kick myself, as all along, I've been assuming this was a 'no return' problem that was only resoveable via power down. That's based on the fact that keyboard leds don't function and I can't access the box via network from machines that have normal connectivity to this same box. > > Marc. > > +----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ > | Marc Aurele La France | work: 1-780-492-9310 | > | Computing and Network Services | fax: 1-780-492-1729 | > | 352 General Services Building | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | > | University of Alberta +-----------------------------------+ > | Edmonton, Alberta | | > | T6G 2H1 | Standard disclaimers apply | > | CANADA | | > +----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ > XFree86 Core Team member.
