Lads,
I don't know if this is a coincidence of not, but since I brought my PC home after alug3, if I connect to it from any other PC using X the machine hangs totally. The only cure is the reset button. Telnet works just fine, and X works fine on the machine itself.
can you explain what you mean by 'connecting to it from any other PC using X'.. are you using another linux box to connect from an xterm, or are you 'setenv DISPLAY okmachine:0' and trying to run X apps ??
I'm using x-win32 from one of 2 '95 PCs, into my home Linux box. I've never had a problem with this before.
Also is it the machine which hangs, or just X.. I have had some experiences with q3test which takes out X, and because X has the keyboard I can't hit ctrl-bkspace.. If you can telnet in though it would much nicer to your box if you 'su' and 'shutdown -r now' ;)..
It's the whole machine, whatever kernel I use (including the standard 2.2.5 which came with SuSE 6.1). I can't telnet in, and can get no response from any key strokes, mouse, SFA.
anything in the mesage logs which you might want to share with us ??
Can't find anything, but I may not be looking in the right place, of course! Pointers?
The main reason I posted here (I'd probably rebuild, to be honest), is that we mucked about with the PC a fair bit at alug3, and someone might remember somnething they or I did.
Cheers, Laurie.
