I am a new user to Redhat, and am not sure where I can locate the X-server log so if you could please tell me where to locate it it would be appreciated. Thanks
I have just installed a PCI ethernet card and I am getting faster speed and have not had a crash yet. I am starting to wonder if it could possibly be a conflict between Redhat and my integrated ethernet card. Could that possibly be what has been causing me problems?
You haven't attached the needed information as requested. While I realize you are a newbie and may not know where the files are, you could have asked on a mailing list or something. I cycle through all bugs and the time it takes to get back around again can be a long time, so it is best if people provide all information the first time, or as quickly as possible. Please attach: /var/log/XFree86.0.log /var/log/messages /etc/X11/XF86Config Also provide the output of "lsmod" from while X is running.

After I installed an Linksys LNE100TX everything has seemed to run smoothly and I have had no problems with it freezing. I believe that the integrated ethernet card on my motherboard was not compatible. I am satisfied with the speed that I am getting and do not need anymore feedback on this bug. But if you need more information to help others who have the same problem and provide a patch for it I am willing to help.
Ok, this sounds like it was a hardware issue then, and unrelated to XFree86. Glad to see you've got things going ok now though. I'll close this as notabug for now. Thanks.
