While running Netscape 4.02b7 and a few xterms, I had a total screen/keyboard/mouse freeze. System: 2.2.2-RELENG XFree86 3.3, 32 meg Stealth 64 S3. Any hardware issues I should be checking out? One possibility I'm considering is that I did not update XFree86 after several 'make world' 's. I'm sure this sounds ignorant, but could this have something to do with it? While I'm on the subject, does a sysinstall that has been updated point to updated binary versions of programs or are ports the only thing that are kept currnet between releases? Thanks, Dave
