Is this reproduceable with the XFree packages in 7.0? You're using XFRee 4.x right? Not an X bug, this is a kernel issue, reassigning... Unalligned traps are a XFree issue The Machine Exceptions should be fixed already. Ok, thanks for the fast response Arjan! I just realized they were kernel log messages (dunno why I didn't notice that before) and so assumed it was kernel problem. Any ideas what I should look for? Harry, can you please try the latest packages for Alpha from: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing There is a very good chance that the patches that Jay Estabrook sent me fix this and other problems. I do not have the hardware to verify this however so I will need you to try these packages as soon as possible and update the bug report. If the problem persists, I need full log files, and your complete XFree86 config files as uncompressed file attachments using the link below. Thanks. Unalligned trap means Xfree tries to read or write memory that isn't properly alligned. Eg reading an 4byte integer at a non-32-bits alligned word etc Please try the XFree dist from rawhide ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/redhat/linux/rawhide/alpha/RedHat/RPMS/ Cheers |
