hi! thanks for your effort. i've two minor problems here. ok. so this is the first time i've run x - i've been strictly commandline up until now. i thusfar have only used it for gimp, crazy-addictive evil tangrams, & mozilla, & i anticipate this being the case forever. long live CLI! it's a p3-600 running debian 3.0r1, kernel 2.4.18; i'll be happy to give any other information required, including my cup size. har!
anyhow, x is oddly crashy & i do not know why. if i'm logged in & using x, it's fine. if i'm logged in & i switch ttys away from it for more than five or ten minutes, it gives my syslog: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 input condition is: 0x10, exiting & restarts. if i'm logged in & i leave it idle for five or ten minutes, it restarts. if i do not log in, but come back to it five or ten minutes after it's been sitting there, it restarts before letting me log in. i wonder if it's trying to go to a screen saver or something which it isn't finding. i know too little about how x works, & thus haven't been able to find information in my extensive .doc, howto, & groups.google searchings. second issue: i have NO idea if this is related, but it'd be swell if someone could tell me what this "-- MARK --" crap in my messages log is, & how i can make my new box stop doing it at :10, :30 & :50 on the hour. there's nothing in crontab. thanks, cats. you each deserve oral sex. lish [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
