by I've been having a strange problem with X. When X starts, sometimes it
seems as though either the mouse and keyboard have completely stopped
responding or the X server itself has frozen.
My system:
o Celeron 300A (overclocked to 450)
o 128 mb ram
o graphics: Diamond Viper 770 (TNT2) 32 mb
o distribution: Debian 2.1 (or higher? i've been doing upgrades w/ apt
from the unstable package tree)
o SVGA xserver, ver. 3.3.5
o window manager: blackbox (0.51.?)
When it freezes, the system appears to still be running--in my .xinitrc
i launch wmnet, and it continues to show network activity, even though
my mouse and keyboard both don't work.
Sometimes, I think it freezes when I move my mouse as X is starting,
other times it just freezes, and sometimes it freezes when I switch back
to a regular console and then go back to X. And then, maybe 50% of the
time, everything is fine and dandy and X runs without any problems
whatsoever.
I would definitely appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks,
Alex
