From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 Description of problem: I have upgraded from RH 7.3 to 8.0 and since then when I log out from user to the login screen the GDM (or maybe it is the X windows) freezes sometimes and sometimes causes the computer to restart. Recently I am having problem to get to the login manager at the first place and I get an error message saying that the X windows cannot get started. only restarting the computer solve the problem. I am not even sure if the two problem are related. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.login out of any user on the machine. 2. or turning on the computer. 3. Actual Results: When I am logging off a user the screen sometimes freezes (sometimes with an X in the middle of the screen), or the computer restarts without any further action. Sometimes the log out works well and I get to the login screen. When it happens on startup, I get a message that I need to reconfigure the X, but even reconfiguration would not resolve the problem and only restarting the computer solves it (but not always, sometimes I need to restart an older version of the kernel in order to get things to work). Expected Results: needless to say. Additional info:
I'm having the same problem!. Aprox 1/3 of the times, after logging out from my KDE session, the Xserver or something freezes, and I have to hard-reset my computer. Some times the computer resets itself.
Forget to say that I made a clean RH8.0 installation(not upgrade), and my system is up to date.
Please attach your X server config file and log file, as well as /var/log/messages using the link below. Also attach the output of "lsmod"

Please find hereunder the lsmod output. Please note that last week I could not start the X server any more so I had to reinstall a clean copy of RH 8.0. Apparently it did not solve the problem. lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted ide-cd 33608 0 (autoclean) cdrom 33696 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] i810_audio 25224 0 (autoclean) ac97_codec 13416 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio] soundcore 6532 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio] ppp_deflate 4536 0 (autoclean) zlib_deflate 21464 0 (autoclean) [ppp_deflate] agpgart 43136 5 (autoclean) ppp_async 9440 1 (autoclean) ppp_generic 24380 3 (autoclean) [ppp_deflate ppp_async] slhc 6756 0 (autoclean) [ppp_generic] autofs 13348 0 (autoclean) (unused) dmfe 17089 1 iptable_filter 2412 0 (autoclean) (unused) ip_tables 14936 1 [iptable_filter] mousedev 5524 1 keybdev 2976 0 (unused) hid 22244 0 (unused) input 5920 0 [mousedev keybdev hid] usb-uhci 26188 0 (unused) usbcore 77024 1 [hid usb-uhci] ext3 70336 2 jbd 52212 2 [ext3]
