Hello, my Beige G3 has sometimes a strange behaviour. As far as I could see, a black stripe splits the whole screen (seems like a console intrusion), and xmon ouput is displayed.
I could add that it happens after moving from one desktop to another, but I often switch between desktops. Sometimes I could type 'x' to escape (and then all freezes), once I could even exit xmon and restart X :o) but most often the system hangs, and I have to force reboot with <Ctrl>+<Opt>+<Power> :o| Here is the last xmon output (hope I did not make a mistake): <<<<< xmon> vector 300 at pc=c00100c0, lr=c000f7c4 msr=1032, sp=c0219770 [c02196c0] dar=7d294248, dsisr=40000000 current=c0219420, pid=0, comm=swapper xmon> vector=200 at pc=0001054c, lr=0000039c msr=41000, sp=c0219690 [c02195c0] current=c0219420, pid=0, common=\clubsuit L [1] >>>>> It always happen while I'm browsing the web, I have a 56k Olitec serial modem. In general, the running apps are: Opera-6.12 Sylpheed-claws0.8.11 XEmacs-21.4.12 (latest stable) I'm using WindowMaker-0.80.2, kernel 2.4.18 I've thrown Mozilla away because I thought it was the cause of those kind of crashes (and also because it is damn too big), not to mention (kernel|mail_client|windowmanager|...) recompilations. Any pointers to solutions? Could it be a bug in the swap procedure (swap=128Mo) ? Is it possible to log xmon ouput somewhere in order to avoid copy by hand all the messages?
