Here is my system specs: > Yeah, X has bugs. ;-) I was experiencing something similar in RH 7.3, or rather the version of XFree86 that shipped with that distro. There was what amounted to a null pointer reference somewhere in the bowels of the X code. I worked with one of the XFree guys on patching it up. On the plus side, I learned a lot about rebuilding and patching X from scratch (shudder). I've heard isolated reports of X crashes in our labs with 8.0, but I haven't been able to reproduce them as consistently as I had before. If you can reproduce the problem consistently and don't mind some GDB tracing to find the error, the XFree developers were pretty speedy in getting me a patch. --Chris -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
