How hard is the restart - power button, or just ctrl-alt-delete (or ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-delete) ? I have to power cycle the machine... When working with lockups I sometimes set a 5 minute cron job to sync the disks: 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /bin/sync 5,15,25,35,45,55 * * * * /bin/sync then when it locks up I wait five minutes before pressing the power button. This often gives the machine a chance to write the log to disk. I don't quite understand? ___ Devel mailing list Devel@XFree86.Org http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

It's a standard SuSE 8.1 kernel and I checked the .config which has the Unix domain sockets option enabled.

Any ide what's going wrong now? More likely there are some problems with permissions. The permissions to the X server Unix sockets are a tricky issue, too little - and you can't connect, too much - and you have a security issue. I'm running everything as root. So permissions shouldn't be a problem at this point, right? Of course, another stupid question is: Is an X server running on this machine at all? Well, I expected XF86Setup to do that for me. I just ran 'make World' and 'make install'. Now I wanted to run XF86Setup for it to configure my X server before starting it??? I also tried xf86config which runs through flawlessly but when trying to 'startx' gives me a blank screen and it then hangs... Sorry for my unqualified information but I'm quite new to XFree86. If there's any further information I can provide I'd be happy to do so. I'm quite desparate of getting this XFree86 3.3.6 up running BTW. I don't really know about the meaning of this but there's *_no_* entry like the following when running 'netstat -an': unix 2 [ACC] STREAMLISTENING427/tmp/.X11-unix/X0 Should there be one like this (I've read so somewhere else...)?

The SVGA usually works on almost any card but there are some exceptions that don't keep compatibility. Usually they come on laptops, but I've seen one such desktop card as well. -SB My graphics card is in the list (Silicon Motion Lynx EM+) and suggests using XF86_SVGA.
