I've been running XInside's server for quite a while, since it seemed to
do a better job of handling the Java stuff on my box.  However, it
corrupts memory all over the place and locks up my computer doing 16/24
bit stuff, so I reverted back to XFree86 last night.

Ever since going back, I've had *tons* of sio overflow errors, at the
strangest times.  I'm not even near the computer when I get them, but
given that the applications are *exactly* the same as before, and I
never had problems before I'm almost 100% sure it's gotta be XFree86
that's causing them.

However, I do note that my system seems to be more 'responsive' with the
XFree86 server than with the Xi server, possibly due to memory use.  I
only have 16MB on my 486/66 (it's the 'original' FreeBSD box), and given
that my boxes at work are much more capable this box has becomea a
glorified X-terminal.
