* Anders Johansson (andjoh@cicada.linux-site.net) [011208 10:31]: -> ->I just suffered a major X crash with 4.1.0-85. Running k_deflt-2.4.16-5 from ->mantel/next/RPM, kde 2.2.2/qt 2.3.2 (latest packages from ftp.gwdg.de) on ->suse 7.3. I was running kmail, konqueror and xmms at the time. Just when a ->song had ended (No Doubt - Just a girl, if that's relevant :) everything ->froze except the mouse cursor.

When I killed ->the X process, which usually works when this happens, the whole machine died, ->and wouldn't even respond to ping, forcing a reboot. -> This happened to me a couple days ago..I reverted back to the Oct 1st XFree 4.1.0 RPMs..and all was well. Something has been ..ummm.. broken with the last 2 builds of X 4.1.0. I'm not sure why they are building new ones when the Oct 1st builds rock. *shrug* -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal" -AE
