Anyone have experience with a heavy wm like KDE on a box like this one? The GX115/150 is a disposable low-profile business desktop, sells for dirt cheap. They're nice little fleet boxes, pretty reliable, but I've begun to suspect that Dell's cutting corners pretty aggressively in these things to keep the price down. I've just installed RH7.2 on one of these, and have found that the machine is prone to hard-locking at random intervals. I'm talking belly-up here - no keyboard or mouse response, no way to kill the X server, and no network response either. It only happens when KDE is in use -- never with Gnome, and never with Microsoft Windows, so far. KDE is pretty demanding, so I'm not prepared to blame it; I think this suggests exposure of a hardware weakness. I've just rebuilt it (again), this time without using the i686-optimized kernel and glibc, which I'd been installing. We'll see how it goes. Meanwhile, I'd be interested in others' experiences with this type of box. - -d - -- David Talkington PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp - -- http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/pale_blue_dot.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPGMz479BpdPKTBGtEQIF9wCfeoLUJor5lrElVVW6X7LFsGIXifAAoMax b2Cc1oWLZKFsMDVanF/8tWc3 =UTSm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
