Well, . . . .
- X is still ok, but after you exit it, the computer crashes, or
- After 20 idle minutes it crashes?
If the latter, it's almost certainly that your window manager or other
process is trying to bring up a screen saver and that's killing things.
But we'll need a lot more data to be able to help:
- FreeBSD version?
- X version?
- Window manager?
- xlock set up?
- When it crashes, what exactly happens?
- How do you know the kernel is crashing? What messages appear on your
screen (kernel "panic" message? Something else?)
