[e-users] hang-ups
Hi I'm having some problems when i'm using xfree 4.3 and enlightenment. Sometimes the system hangs and there's nothing to do except pressing the reset button. Not even the ctrl-alt-fx keys work. All i see is the desktop with some erratic pixels (all lined up). What can i do to know if the problem is reallys enlightenment or something else? I've checked some logs but nothing.

Re: [e-users] hang-ups
Are you using an nvidia card with nvidia's binary drivers? I had this same sort of problem for a long time because it turned out that the nvidia card was sharing an IRQ with my sound card. Unfortunately the only way I was able to change this was by moving the cards around in the pci slots (cause obviously I couldn't move the nvidia card) until the nvidia card had an IRQ all by itself. Ever since I haven't had any problems at all. Of course there have been a couple revisions of nvida's drivers in that time too, so it may not be as big of an issue anymore. Also, I'm on a dual athlon system, and while I was trying to googleinate this problem, I found lots of anecdotal evidence that the dual athlon boards are prone to issues stemming from irq sharing. If none of this matches your situation, you might want to look at things like heat, and run a memory check on your RAM. Flaky ram can cause all kinds of strangeness. Hope this helps, and good luck.

I'm using the 5328 release currently. You should look at cat /proc/interrupts really. I would also recommend moving to the released 2.6.0 kernel. Lots of bugfixes inbetween test9 and the current release. I have also read of troubles using framebuffer with nvidia cards, so you might want to consider turning off framebuffer. It probably doesn't help that you're also using a development version of X. Heh, my way of getting heat info is to slide off the side of the case and touch the heatsinks. If it feels scorching hot, I know I have a heat problem. Also, since this really doesn't have anything to do with enlightenment, you should probably take this off list. If you want to email me directly, that's okay, but I'm not sure how much more advice I can give you. Good luck! Cheers, Sean --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
