hello there, i have installed a couple of times xfree 3.3.6 but my workstation at work seems to have some serious problem with them, and i thought i might drop a note in case anyone has seen this and can help me ;) problem #0: the screen flickers at the right end, when i move windows around when 'opaque move' is set to *on*. i think that this might be bad bad timings, but i haven't tweaked the 'standard' modes of xf86config's output. problem #1 (more serious): at (seemingly) random intervals X will lock my keyboard dead, but not the mouse, and i can only recover by ssh'ing to my machine from a near-by workstation and killing X. some times, even killing X does not work and it will leave my console displaying strange ascii-graphics characters, or funny colors in text mode. since i haven't provided any information on my system's setup, here it is: - FreeBSD 3.x cvsup'ed almost daily - XFree 3.3.6 installed from ports - my kernel config is derived from GENERIC with some changes to add support for my ps/2 mouse and keyboard. has anyone seen this happen? wha would you suggest, other than throwing by hardware in flames ? ;) - giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
