In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk OK, I've been playing around, and it happens whenever I go wild on the mouse buttons. :) It doens't happen after I kill moused, though - something here I should know about? It's a mouseman, about 2 months old, moused runs like: moused -c -p /dev/mouse -t mouseman Also, power went out here about an hour ago, so I got to find a new quirk. :) In /etc/rc, there's already a "rm -f /dev/log", but with the devfs changes, that's moved to /var/run/log and the /dev is only a symlink. After the crash syslogd paused for a few seconds with an error because taht already existed, so should prob. change it to /var/run. ====================================================================== Dan Walters hannibal@cyberstation.net ====================================================================== On Sat, 2 Nov 1996, Dan Walters wrote: > I'm using afterstep 1.0pre1, from the ports collection - probably about > once or twice a day it tends to just lock up.
