X server catching signal 11

This has actually been going on for a couple months. I've swapped out window manager and display manager, ditching gnome for the time being. As far as I can recall, stability was fine during -phase1. Hardware configuration: Dual P200mmx on a piix3 chipset(430HX), APICs enabled. Video: 00:0a.0 VGA

I hadn't extensively played with it either, since I have a rather custom config (dual head with fixed-frequency monitors). Though, it would be nice if dexter could accept more monitor information, perhaps even a full XFree86 modeline. Hopefully that kind of additional support could be added later

/dev/gpmdata is not on the list of mouse devices. /dev/gpmdata IS a valid mouse device.

Multihead-aware window managers (fvwm goofiness)

Recently I decided I wanted to have a button bar with a clock and the pager in it on my primary display, and while configuring it I discovered that I had two instances of FvwmIconMan and FvwmPager on each of my two heads. It seems from the way fvwm loads, that it is spawning another instance of it

Okay, so if I want to use xinerama, I'll want some help comfiguring my second display for something more than 8bpp, since the second head is a greyscale monitor. Currently :0.0 is an 8MB card displaying at 1280x1024-16, and :0.1 is a 4MB card displaying at 1600x1200-8. On Wed, 6 Sep 2000, Jacob K
