Hi. Recently, X has been crashing on my machine whenever I've left it left alone for more than a few hours. Until a week or so ago, this would happen maybe once a week, but now it's doing it every time. I've asked various friends, all of whom are far wiser than me, but they have no idea. I've included below bits of information it seems you would like. But if I have missed things, please let me know what else you want. Thanks, Gareth ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >From /var/log/gdm/\:0.log : XFree86 Version 3.3.6a / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: xx November 2000 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
