I have been having these X lockups with the linux netscape 4.5
running. I may have exacerbated it when I installed the linux
realplayer and macromedia flash plugins.
I would like to have a methodology to help debug this, but I have just
this one system to use as the debug system. I do also have a vt220
which I could set up if that would help.
The key here is that for me it locks the system up completely. I
cannot telnet in remotely and the ctrl-alt-esc key sequence does not
work so its unclear to me how to debug this. Tell me what I would need
to help debug it, and I will try to be of some help. Ill attach my
dmesg output.
