A very strange X problem

2000-12-20 Thread Joel Ståbis
Hi. I have a very stange problem with xf 4.0.x. Now and then X seems to crash in some strange way. The screen stops updating, the keyboard doesn't work, the only thing I can do is to hit the power-button and reboot. This has happend with all versions of xf 4.0.x, under both redhat 6.2/7.0,

Joel, I have just recently been getting the same problem. First I thought it was my processors, then I thought it was XF4, then I thought it was enlightenment. It just locks my screen with everything frozen except the mouse, which moves around fine. Maybe this isn't a hardware problem like I

I forgot to mention that in my post that I can move the mouse around just like you say. I have also thougth of it being a hardware-problem. Just out of curiosity, what gfx-card do you have? I have a 3dfx voodoo3 2000 agp, maybe there is some problem with the tdfx-driver. * Paul Barton ([EMAIL

I have been using the 3DFX Voodoo 3 3000 AGP for a long time without problems. This new problem just started happening to me on Saturday. Oh, and I'm running cvs enlightenment on unstable Debian. --Paul * Joel St?bis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: I forgot to mention that in my post that I can

Joel, which kernel are you using? I am currently using 2.2.18pre21 for the DRI for the tdfx module. I was actually using this kernel for 2 weeks before it started to freeze on me, so I assume it's not the kernel's fault. I'm already leaning towards X4 on this one. Something must be wrong with

Enlightenment just segfaulted on me, and this is about 30 minutes after the latest crash which just happened. I am going to switch over to gnome for a few days and see if I can get it to crash. --Paul * Joel St?bis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Hi. I have a very stange problem with xf 4.0.x.

from the description of the problem I am not sure if this is related but it might be so here it goes: I have the same card (3dfx voodoo 3, PCI) and the X server used to crash quite often when I moved around large windows (whole windows where moved, not just frames, opaque moving). Daryll said

I'm currently using 2.2.18, no dri, no tdfx-module, no agpgart. I have tested with all of those included to, but that doesn't make any difference. X has freezed much more often latley (since a few days ago) for me, so there might be something with the latest builds that is causing it. * Paul

I switched to gnome this afternoon (which I can't stand because the window-focusing isn't as cool as E) and I haven't frozen yet. I sure hope E is screwed up and not X. --Paul * Joel St?bis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: I'm currently using 2.2.18, no dri, no tdfx-module, no agpgart. I have

For me the windowmanager doesn't mather, e, wm, fvwm2, gnome/sawfish all of them crashes. WindowMaker is the worst. * Paul Barton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: I switched to gnome this afternoon (which I can't stand because the window-focusing isn't as cool as E) and I haven't frozen yet. I sure
