more research has shown that the X crash *always* happens exactly 20 minutes after X desktop idle time starts. however, disabling APM with the apm=off kernel option, simply not running apmd, and/or disabling all power management features in the BIOS did *not* fix the problem. i am at a loss because i don't know what else is causing an event related to 20 minutes of X desktop idle time. and it's only X, the rest of the system has no problems. here are the relevant files again: ftp://ftp.madduck.net/pub/temp/x-signal4/xdm.log.gz ftp://ftp.madduck.net/pub/temp/x-signal4/XFree86.0.log.gz ftp://ftp.madduck.net/pub/temp/x-signal4/XF86Config-4.gz again, this is X 4.1.0-14 from Debian/GNU Linux Woody, and there are no packages available for 4.2.0 yet, so i can't really install 4.2.0 because it's too much administrative overhead... any help very very gladly appreciated!!! -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck micro$oft is to operating systems & security what mcdonalds is to gourmet cuisine.
