hello all, i've been using freebsd for several years now and have just started to use xfree86 as my "gui interface". my network has an i486dx33 with 16 mb and adaptec-1542b, this is used primarily as teh gateway/router host from which i network here. this is stable and likes freebsd, of teh two 'working hosts', both intel powered machines, p5-133, pci buslogic bt-958, 64 mb dram, smc pci 10 mb nic, stb powergraph p6-180, pci adaptec aha-2940, 128 mb dram, smc 10-100 mb nic, matrox mil2 both of these machines run textmode (cli) flawlessly, but when i go to x windows, i start to get sig 11 failures, not just teh big things like andrew file systems apps, xemacs, but running an xterm with ee will core and drop dead. x keeps running, but i have a hard disk littered with little piles of core droppings .. grin i've torn down and rebuilt both machines several times and can find noting wrong with either. all components work flawlessly, in teh 'suspect' chassis, as well as in other assemblies. i know that hardware ages and gets less stable, but teh p6 is a new supermicro (p6sne motherboard) with guarenteed to run unixware, novell, nt, etc operating systems. when returned to supplier it would perform flawlessly, both nt and unixware running a web server mix application suite. ummmm. help please. if it explaines anyting, i set all teh accounts here as default class .. maybe i should be allocating more resources to x window enabled accounts, yes, if so how much ? i am not really familiar with x and wouldn't know where to start. regards, with thanks in advance jonathan ps, please excuse my spelling and message set out, i am a disabled person and have a mild dsylexia. -- =============================================================================== Jonathan Michaels PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 Australia ===========================================================<jon@caamora.com.au> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
