Hi all Until recently, there was no problem in my machine, with RH 7.1. Now, I'm getting some XFree ( XFree86-4.0.3-5 standard install ) problems, such as: - The mouse pointer blocks - Or the mouse pointer behaves as if the X system had a full events queue: erratic moves whenever I try to move the mouse - Sometimes, the X system blocks entirely, so I'have to kill X ( Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace )
This behaviour occurs, either while I'm connected to the Internet, or not connected. There is no local LAN at home, my computer is alone. Tried to verify all XFree packages. The XFree86-4.0.3-5 package contained four MD5, Time, and other errors, so I replaced the package with: 'rpm -U --force XFree86-4.0.3-5' The errors disappeared, however the erratic X behaviour continued. For infos, I recently modified my firewall, which only permitted input TCP access to ports 20 ( ftp-data ) and 113 ( identd ), all other DENYed on input. The modification, was to add 2 rules: /sbin/ipchains -A input -l -p tcp -i eth0 -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d my_ip 1024:65535 -y -j DENY /sbin/ipchains -A input -p tcp -i eth0 -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d my-ip 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT I believed these rules were about to stop connections comming from the outside, while allowing current connections. Anyway, I can't understand how this could be related to X behaviour, for this behaviour occurs, either whenever I'm connected, or not. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
