Dear All, I recently had the pleasure of installing Debian "sid" on my Sparc IPC, and aside the X missing-dev-file gotcha, I've been having no problems, apart from a very unreliable X server.
I'm using Xsun, since I have a cgthree framebuffer, however after a certain amount of use, X crashes very badly, taking out the console, and requires a reboot to resume useful work. This occurrs on average, two or three times a day. At this stage, it dosen't seem like a dodgy-hardware problem, since without X running, I have no reliability issues at all. My question is: has anyone else encountered these problems? Are there any known workarounds, and is there anything being done to increase the reliability of the XFree Sparc X servers? Many thanks in advance, and thanks for your time. -regards, Ben. -- +-- Ben Fowler, 2nd yr.
