Here is a strange error... I am running 2.2.1 on a P-133. I have a US Robotics X2 56K modem. The monitor card is a STB Horizon 64V (PCI). PPP is Brian's 970921 source and X is 3.3.1. ppp is ppp -auto -alias isp Now on to the problem. I cannot start X (startx) when PPP is connected to the ISP. The entire system freezes just as the card switches to graphics mode. I am forced to reboot using the Reset button on the front of my machine. If I go the other way around, starting ppp (dialing out) as I startx, I freeze up ppp (which I can then kill and restart). If I startx, and then start ppp no problem. Nothing shows up in /var/log/ppp.log, by the way besides the normal messages ] (LCP IPCP CCP). This happened with the standard 2.2.1 release of X and PPP as well. I upgraded to the latest to see if that would work. I'm not sure how they are related. Any other pertinent info needed? Patrick P.S. This is very easy to prevent, so I am able to work around it. It's just annoying when I forget ;)
