Re[2]: Crashing X servers

["Jim Leven"<jleven agso gov au>]

    I occassionally have a problem with netscape running on another server and 
    displaying on AXP workstation. This doesn't crash the AS, but logs me out!  
    Details are AS200 fvwm, Linux 2.0.20. 
    
    I guess that I will have to upgrade at some point, but as I have an 
    otherwise stable system, I feel that it is difficult to invest the necessary 
    time.

I was curious if this bug is on intel machines. I opened 100 xterm's 
and so far no crash. I will leave the windows up all day to see if it 
crashes. I assume you were using xterm's or does it make a difference 
what windows you have open. I'm using fvwm2 as the window manager. I 
did have this same matrox mill II card in the alpha system for a while 
and never had a problem with it. That was with an AS/200. Maybe it is 
an alpha only problem.
     
Hope this gives you a data point to work with. 
     
Later,
