-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Similar thing just happened here. It is not a bios problem. We just upgraded x-window-system-core to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 from 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7 and X now aborts with sig11. It was working fine. I haven't been able to back down to 1-7 yet to try to get it going again, but the system is running fine, just no X. - --- John C. Martin
