Hi Ray and Peter! > From your report, it is difficult to know what is really happening. I > would **guess**, though, that fonts are not your real problem.
After I linked them statically, and the problem continued to appear, I thought about this too... > What are the basics of your hardware? Especially, how much RAM does your > system have, and how big is your swap partition? I have an Athlon XP 1700+ processor, with 256 MB DDR RAM, and 500 MB swap partition. Abit KR7A motherboard. Maxtor 40 GB HDD. Pioneer DVDrom. Should I write anything else? If yes, what? And here to Peter: > Most likely this is a problem of RH7.3 with some video cards. I had the > same and had to reinstall RH7.1 to get on working. I have an ATI Radeon 7500. I bought it becouse I heard the problems with Nvidia, and I heard ATI is a good choise for Linux.

You might be right about X is not freezing, just being slow (I didn't wait for so many time before restart, jus about 5 minutes). The next happen. I start a browser (now everithing is ok), than log in to ISP (now ok too), than start to browse the net, and then CPU usage is going mad (full). And everithing is slow (but not freezed now, I tried now just with opera). Then I started 'top' command, and saw that opera is using the most the cpu. And this went to 2-3 minutes, than I stopped the connection, but can not close opera. (It is still working, and can not be closed, now for more than 10 minutes, and CPU usage is full (looking at applet), and now I had to kill it with -9 option). What can I do now? > If that is not it ... what are the last few things the logs contain prior > to a reboot out of this failure? I tried again, to generate log messages. Now the next happened: Start Opera, log to ISP, start browsing. For 1-2 minutes everything is ok. Then got the CPU usage to max. I wait for a while (3 minutes), the CPU usage is maximal, opera is not responding to mouse click, if I drag a window over opera, the window is makink a trail over opera. If I change to other workspace and back, opera is white (this happened in the previous case too). The connection speed graph gets zigzag (little zigzag, in one second 1.5 kb than 0, and again...) Then I disconnected from ISP, and than X aborted! The message of X (I start it from text mode, so I see messages after abort): Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting (then the text that if I want to send a bug report I have to include all XFree log messages...) I could send the full XFree log, but is is around 50 kB... And here is the /var/log/messages with messages generated at the that time: (I put X-es to ip addresses, because I don't know if it is a security problem if I tell you. Ray wrote previously that I should cut off passwords, and I don't know if I should do the same with ip-s...) -------------------------------------- Aug 4 17:38:30 localhost kernel: hsf_break_ctl: modem does not presently support sending/receiving BREAK Aug 4 17:39:04 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0 Aug 4 17:39:04 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0 Aug 4 17:39:04 localhost pppd[11399]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0 Aug 4 17:39:04 localhost pppd[11399]: Using interface ppp0 Aug 4 17:39:04 localhost pppd[11399]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyHSF0 Aug 4 17:39:04 localhost /etc/hotplug/net.agent: assuming ppp0 is already up Aug 4 17:39:10 localhost pppd[11399]: Remote message: Login Succeeded Aug 4 17:39:10 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-21 Aug 4 17:39:10 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-21 Aug 4 17:39:11 localhost pppd[11399]: local IP address XXX.XXX.X.XXX Aug 4 17:39:11 localhost pppd[11399]: remote IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XX Aug 4 17:43:20 localhost pppd[11399]: Terminating on signal 15.
