Hi all,
I installed Debian 3.0 Woody on a Sony VAIO PCG-F580 Laptop. Things are
pretty good BUT my system hangs randomly, sometimes after 10 hours,
sometimes after 10 minutes, wether I use KDE or Gnome. I use a regular
PS2 mouse on /dev/psaux and everything gets frozen, Ctrl-Alt-BckSpace
doesn't kill X, have to reboot and enjoy fsck'ing. I checked my /var/log/X*
and it mentions this at the end:
"XFree86 is not able to detect your mouse.
Edit the file and correct the Device.
Your XF86Config file is /root/XF86Config.new"
So I think we can be sure that at a certain point X is lacking a device
wether it be because of upstream buggy code or not. I use a XFree NeoMagic
server (NM2380) and use set Software Cursor to TRUE. Here is my XF86Config-4:

# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these

### END DEBCONF SECTION
Is there anybody here who's going through the same problem?
For now I copied my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to /root/XF86Config.new since it
looks like the server was looking for it the log mentionned here above and it
was actually an empty file... Just a guess, still no crash for now after 30
minutes...
Thanks,
François
