[-- Attachment #1 --] Kill the APM support in your BIOS. ----- Original Message ----- From: frogger3099 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2001 12:10 AM Subject: Freebsd Crashing when exiting X Hi, I have freebsd 4.4 with gnome 1.4 and xfree86 3.3.6 when i boot up my computer everything is fine. if i idle for a little bit the screen will blank out, which is fine if it does it in the console, but if it blanks out in X i think that the kernel is crashing. If i exit x the screen goes to a bunch of crazy letters and numbers and i lose control. if i try to halt the computer from x after the screen blanks out it goes to the crazy letters and numbers and freezes. I've tried using alt+ctrl+del but it doesn't work, i have to hit the reset button and wait for it to go through the fsck stuff. I've tried to use apm by typing apm -e disable then i've also tried apm -e disable -h disable -d disable. I've even tried using apm -e enable, apm -e enable -h enable -d enable and i still come up with the same results. does anyone have any suggestions?
