I am running a RH6.1-ish system with a self-rolled kernel tarball (2.2.13). I have been experiencing problems with xfree86-3.3.5-16 and kde-1.1.2. I recently installed the i386 rpms for this version and then decided to recompile the source with optimizations for my 686 system (celeron). All was fine before the recompile and install and for a short while it was ok afterwards but then I found that on ocassion, the kpanel would crash, and I would lose many open apps (like a kvt). I would logout (that still worked with the right mouse button on the kwm background) and then try to relogon. It would fail - kde would fail to start. I found that I could start gnome without problem, however, and from there would try to run a few kde apps (kvt, kedit) but I would get segfaults. I reinstalled the xfree86-3.3.5-16 i386 binaries again, ran xf86setup, rebooted and all was well again. Has anyone come across similar behavior? Is kde sensitive to which xfree was installed when they are compiled (I compiled and installed kde)? One more thing...I have downloaded acroread 4.0 but find that it tends to segfaulting irrespective of xfree variant. I downloaded a pdf that gv can see just fine but trying with acrobat - it craps out. I have tried redownloading and reinstalling to no avail. It usually starts to load a pdf, with a LITTLE of the text becoming visable but then it posts a small message about a segfault being caught. This happens also with postscript files that have been converted to pdf. Has anyone run into THIS behavior? -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
