[Newbie]Xterminal freezing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



(sorry for the cross-post, but I'm not sure which is the best list for this)

I have a Number Nine Reality 334 (4mb, AGP) which I'm trying to run with 
Debian (Woody).  I've set the resolution to 1024x768 at 16bpp.  Everything 
seems to work fine except when I try to pop open an Xterminal.  At that 
point, XF86_SVGA goes to 98% CPU utilization (I'm on a dual-850 PIII) and 
the whole system locks up.  After almost a minute it comes back, but doing 
anything like "ls /etc" causes the same behavior.

Other windows, such as a web browser, are not affected in this way.

When I set the color depth to 8bpp everything seems OK, but the color 
definition is pretty crappy.  This card, when used in a Windoze box, can do 
1024x768 at 16 all day long.  Am I really stuck at 256 colors?

Nothing is thrown in the logs to indicate an error.
