It does not seem to correspond to the symptoms I was originally reported in 2161649. In that bug, it is only the X server that crashes, and it is now known that the bug was introduced in moving to the X.org 7.2. The machine is never left unresponsive, 'cause after the X server crashes init (or the display manager or whatever) restarts it immediately, at which point it functions seemingly normally until the symptom re-occurs within about 1h45m to 2h or so. And in my case, at least, it certainly is not heat-related, since the machine is well ventilated, otherwise idle and uses a Core 2 Duo chip, which if I understand correctly runs significantly cooler than its older siblings (cousins?). In my case, the idling system's CPU temperature is about 40C. > J Randall Schulz --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
