XFree86-4.0.2 && ATI-r128 && mozilla == false
Yup! That's what it is says. I'm not sure why, but mozilla seems to crash my XFree86-4.0.2 faster than any other app. If I open mozilla's latest nightly and shake the window around a bit X restarts without fail. Perhaps this problem will be resolved with SuSE 7.1 when it gets here. I sure hope so. BTW, does anybody know if the build of X would be effected by the kernel? I know the kernel build produces an r128.o for the DRI module. I've tried building that directly into the kernel and that didn't fix the problem. I would not be working so hard on this just to get the latest X to work. I'm doing it so I can learn. Nonetheless it is very frustrating. Steve
There is a bug in the TTF code that may crash XF86 4.02 when an application
tries to generate a font list when certain (buggy?) ttf fonts are
installed. After much trial and error I found which font caused XF86 to
crash on my machine when Mulberry was gathering the font information. Once
I removed the font, I had no more crashes. BTW, I am running the nightly
Mozilla builds and except for some bugs, it seems to very very stable and
usable. So much so, that it became my main browser.

I can't believe that you don't report the name of this font to the list. What good is your email? At 17:06 02/11/2001 -0600, you wrote:

Well my friend, my email was much more usefull then your rude reply.
The reason I didn't report this font is that different people have
different fonts and it is not a single font that causes this problem. In
my case the fonts were the pala.ttf, palab.ttf, palabi.ttf and palai.ttf.
Other people have reported other fonts.

Avi, Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to look at that. There seem to be other terms in the equation. KDE2.1-beta2 && QT-2.4.4. KDE1 seems stable so far. I am not very patient with it though. Just login for a few minutes to see if I can force a crash, then it's back to the KDE2.1. So far I have not seen one crash with KDE1. I'm also on the latest kernel - 2.4.1. Soon to be 2.4.2-pre3. As far as Mozilla goes. I do like it. I've been doing the nightly downloads for several months now. I haven't figured out how to get it to use plugins yet. Have you? Real player and flash in particular. Konqueror has come a long way. It's getting to be a very nice browser. Far superior to Mozilla when it comes to ftp.

The mozilla plugins have to go into the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory. This is how I got flash running on Mozilla. Not sure about any other plugins though. Matt On Sunday 11 February 2001 04:30 pm, Steven T. Hatton wrote:

Hey all, I asked this a while ago, but got no response, perhaps because my question wasn't clear: Where can I find RPMs for XFree86-4.0.2 for SuSE 6.4? I've looked in all the places I can think of, and so far have found RPMS only for 7.0. Thanks, Jim Cunning
