X window problem
Hi UNIX guys,
I occasionally meet such problem when I am using my X Window:
The machine suddenly hangs up. Mouse pointer doesn't move, Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't work either. I have to turn the power off to reboot.
My machine is like following,
- OS: Red Hat Linux 6.0, kernel-2.2.5-15.i586
- X server: XFree86-SVGA-3.3.6-35.i386
- Display adaptor: SiS 6326 AGP
- Memory: 128MB
- CPU: K6-II 500
I don't think it is a hardware problem / failure. It runs well in Windows 98. Should I download another X server?
Any answer is welcome!
Eddie
