Hi Dennis! My collegue has the same stuff you have. It works fine until trying to logout. Then the machine hangs completely, requiring a reset. I can kill X from another console OK, but not logout from X. Seems to be xdm related, but Iäm not sure. Happens with both 3.3.1 and 3.3.2. FreeBSD stable 2.2.6. /Palle Dennis Tenn wrote: > > Hi everyone. > > I've been experiencing a problem with the above combination on my computer > and would like to know if I'm the only one and if there is a solution. > > I have a P166 w/ 128Mb RAM and the above hardware.
