Sometimes when killing X ist is not automatically restarted on my systems, maybe you need to run /etc/init.d/xdm restart from a text console to make this work. Instead of Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, I would use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go directly to a text console. There I would have a look at the at the last lines of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of "top", maybe this shows something like a nspluginviewer process gone wild which you can kill. Also try to kill firefox, will X work fine again then? Use Ctrl-Alt-F7 to go back to the X screen. > Another problem happening togather with the above one is that I cannot > use mpd since the system crashed. Do other sound applications work, does "ls > /dev/sound/dsp" work and produce a sound? Alex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
