I've been having problems with X instability for a long time. I'll do something in a app (usually mozilla, firebird or galeon) and X will freeze, not responding to keyboard commands or mouse movement.
I can still ssh into the machine, run top and find out that X is consuming 99% of my CPU cycles. This is a notebook (Toshiba Portege 3440) with a Savage MX graphics chip. The guy who wrote the driver (http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html) says that it will accept Option "NoAccel". I've specified it but /var/log/XFree86.0.log will look identical with or without it. It might also be interesting to know that I don't get any error messages in /var/log/XFree86.0.log or ~/.xsession-errors This is the xserver package I'm using. xserver-common/testing uptodate 4.2.1-3 xserver-xfree86/testing uptodate 4.2.1-3 My window manager is fluxbox. Any ideas about what I can do to improve X stability are welcome. regards alex -- Alex Polite http://plusseven.com/gpg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
