Late last week after upgrading my P90 box to 2.2.6 I began running into problems with netscape, chimera, and mosaic. --But not, strangely, the w3 browser in XEmacs. When trying to read certain web pages the entire window manager would crash and after several moments I'd be looking at a new xdm login screen. This invariably happened when I tried to read my HTML-3.2 pages. Either locally, on my system, or out of the net. I would have suspected that ``bad-HTML'' crashed my browsers except that bother netscape-4.0.5 and chimera running on my new 6x86 platform did not crash. On that console, no problem. There are two things that seem likely: 1, something in my P90 environment is improperly set up. I can't imagine what; I've narrowed it down to virtually zero. Or 2, the XF86_W32 driver is buggy (or buggy in conjunction with the rest of v3.3.2. I've got an old Tseng-4000 chip in my videocard in the P90, and a Matrox Millennium (XF86_SVGA). The Matrox driver may be good; the other not. A third possibility is that when I upgraded from 2.2.5, something got fouled up; but this is reaching. Below is some output captured when I was running from xinit---yes, things bomb there, too; not just from xdm. Ideas, people??? thanks, gary kline PS: Please copy me with any feedback.
