[Plug] X Lockup under 2.2.10

[Vale_Kenny@vanguard.com]

Hey Folks,
      Issue:
Using
RH 6.0
kernel 2.2.10
XFree86 (3.3.1 I think, at least that's what the doc rev is
(/usr/doc/XFree86-doc-3.3.1/X11)
Gnome (again. I don't know the rev, its the version sent with RH6)
I don' t have the RPM disk here to check the RPM rev, and I don't know how to
check the version number from within ths system...sorry)

Occasionally, X locks up when I am attempting to exit.  I don't think it is an
enlightenment issue 'cause the only way I can get out after X locks is to kill
-9 the login process for my user ID.  kill9ing the parent shell or the startx
process has no effect at all.  At first I thought I had done smething in my
kernel recompile, but both my desktop and laptop are exhibiting the same
symptoms, with significantly different kernel selections, and Xconfig choices.

As I write this, rather than asking for someone to solve my problem, what kind
of additional steps can I take to analyze it further?

1) How do I check the kernel rev (assuming i have no docs, no /ets/issue
message, am an idiot?..is there a command?) ?
     1A)How do I check an application/package/whatever version without the
original tarfile..is there a Command Line command?
2) Where is the bug-tracking system for GNU/Linux as a whole? Is there a
worldwide repository for bug listigs?
3) How can I pipe the output of the X screen errors (the ones you see when you
quit X) to a file?  Or is there already an "Xlog" , and I just   don't know
whrere it is..if so,where is it?
4) how can I avoid feeling like a moron for asking all of these questions?
Should I feel like a moron?  :->

Thanks, Peace,
Vale
