I think that has happened to me once, but three or four times I have waken
up to find that my X session has reset in the middle of the night (I tend
to stay logged in for days/weeks at a time).
The last two times that has happened coincided with network outages (cable
modem reset the first time, router[1] turned off and disassembled last night)
This morning, I woke up to find that Enlightenment now believes that my X
server no longer has XSHM support. I don't know which version of the X
packages I'm running, I upgraded last night. Also, it seems like DPMS
works with xdm, but not with Enlightenment. I'm using the stock Matrox
G400 driver.
Any ideas with these issues?
[1] our router is an old PowerMac, used because it was the spare computer
in the house -- and therefore less expensive than building a dedicated
Debian box. As it is, for 5 machines, we have 4 networks, 4+ operating
systems, 4 dedicated hubs/bridges/translators, etc.
