Hi, The following problem I have on an old PC (P2 400, Intel BX chipset mainboard, nv tnt2 graphics card, nv driver in XFree86, usb mouse): I can start X and work happily, environment is GNOME. While using X, I can switch to the text consoles and back without problem. Then I finish the X session by chosing "logout" in the GNOME menu, the X server exits and then the system is completely locked up. The system switches to the console, which displays the ususal logging messages of X but is dead, i.e. does not react on keyboard input, and login via the net is impossible. A hard reset is required. This happens in the following test cases: I did exchange the graphics card and used an ati rage xl for testing, I used moused with sysmouse protocol as well as direct access to the /dev/ums0 device with protocol Auto for the mouse, it happens with startx as well as with using xdm, and finally I tried disabling the "dri" and "dbe" (no clue what the latter does anyway) modules in the XF86Config, everything to no avail, the problem stays exactly the same. The log files (XFree86 logfile, messages logfile) do not contain anything unusual. The XF86Config you find attached below. It just seems that I am doing something in the very basics seriously wrong, since the problem is uneffected by all of the above changes. Any idea? Or is it just some dying hardware somewhere in the system, i.e. RAM or the mainboard chipset or whatever? The system is FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE with XFree 4.3.0. This problem appeared after the reinstall of the machine to 5.2. The machine was running on 5.1 before with no problems. Thanks, Dominik. # /etc/X11/XF86Config Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" EndSection Section "Files" EndSection Section "Module" # Load "freetype" # Load "xtt" Load "extmod" #Load "glx" #Load "dri" Load "dbe" Load "record" Load "xtrap" Load "type1" Load "speedo" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "SysMouse" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" HorizSync 27.0 - 92.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "nv" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection
