Hello,
I have a personal workstatin au433.
My graphic card is either an old Matrox PCI or an S3 Virge DX PCI.
I run alternatively Xfree 3.3.6 (under svga) or Xfree 4.0.x (under mga for
matrox)
Each time that I want to switch to a console, X is freezing.
I have also the same bug under some desktop operations (KDE and Gnome) like
the close of a window.
What's wrong ?
Can I use FBdev instead of svga or this is unwelcome (not for my material) ?
Does I have to change something to my Firmware ?
L. Jacques.
P.S.:
Up to know, I notice that it is only my display which becomes frozen. I mean
that my keyboard is always responding. So, like a blind person, I can enter
the root login/password and type something like
> kill -9 `ps aux| gawk '/X/&&!/gawk/{print $2}'`
which I have now recorded in a 'killX' script (it is shorter).
