BTW, same result on sparc32 smp+X. xfs segfaults, so does X itself. It doesn't even get to trying to start. I didn't even think of trying to go back to a UP kernel. I'll have to try that now. Aaron On Tue, 13 Feb 2001, Rogerio Brito wrote: > On Feb 13 2001, Alan Cox wrote: > > Yeah I've

I had problems with XFree86 4.0 and 4.0.1 locking solidly up under Linux 2.4.x after about 10mins until I upgraded to XFree86 4.0.2. Now it seems rock solid. XFree86 3.3.x was always okay. I've got a Dual-PII machine and an NVidia GeForce. David - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line

i have been running 4.0.2 on my smp system using the 2.4.1 kernel. the one thing is, i was using the xfree out of precision insite's cvs with the g400 binary-only hal lib dri module loaded. every-so-often, especially when closing windows or switching virtual desktops, the kernel would crash.
