Hello, I am running 3.2-RELEASE on a PPro 200 w/ 96 megs of RAM. I am also using XFree86 3.3.1 (for the RIVA TNT) and GNOME 1.0.5 (the one in ports). When I log out, the X server will lock up the console very hard--nothing (CTRL- ALT-DEL, CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE) seems to get through. I can still got to my roomates computer and telnet in and everything works fine. When I do "top" or "ps -a" there's no sign of an X server process running, and I can "kill -9" just about everything in sight without getting my console back. I end up having to reboot the machine remotely to use it from the console. So, a) what can I do to prevent the X crashes? b) if I'm stuck with the crashes, how do I get my console back w/o rebooting. Thanks muchly, Matt -- Matt Pillsbury "If you can't hear the signal, pillsy [at] brown [dot] edu just enjoy the noise."
