I have the weird behavior from Netscape. For some strange reason,
whenever, I'm using Netscape, my Xserver crashes. I'm using the default
window manager, Gnome, with Redhat 6.2 and have installed the Metro-X
3.4.5 xserver. My video card is an ATI Rage Fury MAXX. Has anyone had
this problem? I've update Netscape to 4.73 and the problem still
persist. There really isn't anything in the log except "Xserver lost
connection ..."

The windowing system is fine as long as I don't using Netscape.

thx

I am running RedHat 6.2 and the same version of netscape without
that problem. Occasionally, if I use a site with badly written
java code, netscape itself will hang, but I can kill it and restart
it. The netscape java problem has been around for quite a while
through numberous versions of RH and of netscape.

Hello, not sure if this is related,

I experienced problems with Netscape and RedHat 6.0. I had only 20Mb of
memory, and it was pointed out that 32Mb was a minimum for reliable
service, more if used with Gnome.
I never did get the memory, so I'm not sure if that would have solved
things, but it might be worth considering.

Regards

Martin.

Wish that was the case, I have 384 Megs of Ram and about 512 Meg of swap
space running on a PIII 700mhz.

Does this happen only on certain pages that you try to view? Can
you reproduce the problem by viewing the same page?

At first yes, but now it happens when I have Netscape on the Desktop for
a long period of time. I'm going to not use Netscape for a few days and
see what happens.

Yeah same thing happens to me sometimes. Hopefully when the new version6
of Netscape comes out, all this won't happen. Netscape 6 is based on
Netscape Gecko, a new, fully standards-compliant layout engine.
Everything is basically all brand new.

Is there any reason you're not using Mozilla
(since Netscape 6 preview I got was just a clanky old
build of Mozilla anyway)?

M16 came out a week or so ago, and is very usable
(if a memory-sucking RAM hog).

Have you tried disabling Java in Netscape -->
Edit-->Preferences-->Advanced , the click off the
Enable Java button. This worked for me.
