RE: [SLE] X locks up!!!

And also install XFree 4.2.0 from the SuSE website if you have not done it. Xfree 4.1.0 has a memory bug. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/XFree86-4.2.0-SuSE/su se73/ Regards, Jostein

Hi,

1) Do not use X as root. 2) Turn off fast fast AGP writes in BIOS. 3) Use nvidia agp option in xfree config.

with best regards

Hello all,

I have a problem with X. It locks up when I'm using Kmail (I don't know if it happens the same with other applications). When I read my mail messages I always highlight what I'm reading with a mouse click. Then X locks up after a few highlight clicks. I can't do anything anymore except moving the mouse. Keyboard doesn't respond either.

I can login with ssh from a different computer. Using top, I see only X is running with 99% CPU. If I kill X, it hangs. So I have to halt it instead but the screen still locked. Then I press reset.

Could anyone tell me (a bit of details) how to solve this? I know very little about Linux.

My system: SuSE 7.3, SuSE kernel 2.4.16-4GB-SMP (2 CPU), KDE2.2.2 G force 2 with latest Nvidia kernel and GLX

Thank you
