Description of Problem: All the time, I am working, maybe at 1 min, maybe at 20 min, and the X freezes without any errors, with any software, in KDE or GNOME. At this moment, only the mouse its OK! The system hangs and I won't do anything else. I have to manually reboot the computer, and deal with the fsck that comes after. Before this installation of RedHat 7.1, I used the Conectiva Linux 6.0 in this machine, with KDE 2.0.1, and I has no problems. How Reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.startx or kdm; 2.works normally, in any software; 3.Freeze!! Actual Results: Help!!! Expected Results: ... Additional Information: ThinkPad 390X - 2626H0P 128 MB RAM PII 400 kernel 2.4.3-12 xfree-4.0.3 kdelibs-2.1.2 ...
I have a similar problem: System: T-Bird, FIC Ad-11 board, Nvidia TNT2 16Mb, rh7.1 w/ new kernel (2.4.3- 12, from rpms), just upgraded to RawHide XFree (4.1.?) in an attempt to fix. Symptoms are: use X for a while (hours or days), it hangs, mouse moves but no clicking icons, keyboard locked up. I can't change to a virtual terminal, but I can ssh in to "telinit 3 && telinit 5" to get the system back. Of late I've kept gtop open. Occasionally X processor use goes way up and the screen starts to flicker. Possibly related: my mouse jumps around alot (move eratically to the top right corner). I may have fixed this by changing my mouse type (w/ mouseconfig). Its a Logitech 3 button PS/2 mouse.
nvidia issue is almost certainly a separate issue. For neomagic, please attach your XFree86 logs and config file uncompressed using the link below.
Closing bug due to lack of information supplied as requested.
Excuse-me, but I uninstalled the RedHat 7.1 from my machine, because I needed to work!!! Unfortunally, RedHat 7.1 is not a linux system for me. I waited two months for any feedback, and finally, my time was expired!
My apologies in the delay in responding to your bug report. Unfortunately, without the information that was requested, there is no way to debug this problem or fix it. In order to have a bug fixed, developers need to have certain pieces of information. If information has been requested, (albeit quite late) in your case, if it is not supplied in a reasonable amount of time, at some point the bug gets looked at again, and if there is nothing there to go on, it is assumed that the person who filed the report is no longer available, has solved their problem somehow, or is no longer interested. If that presumption is incorrect when a bug is closed, the original submitter, or anyone else, can reopen the report using the buttons below, and have it reactivated. Then, they can submit the requested info, and re-establish the bug tracking. If no further info is needed from the submitter, the bug will remain open until resolved - either by fixing the bug, a new release coming out that fixes the bug, or it being considered unfixable, or too much effort for too little gain to fix (depending on severity, and other items). So, if you indeed are interested in having this looked into still, I would be glad to do so after you attach the information needed, and reopen the report. Again, I apologize for any inconveniences.
