Re: [Plug] XFree locks up local console
|
Hi all,
This sounds like a problem that I have encountered in the past with x locking up
the local console. I have found that some times Netscape and the xscreensaver
fills up the swap and memory space thus causing the kernel to start killing
processes. Also I have found that a bad simm or dimm may be the problem.
Several things that I do to check the memory is to run memtest on the system for
a while. Also I do something crazy like running three kernel compiles
simutaniously in a loop for a while on a new box in three xterms. This will
fill up the memory and stress the cpu. If the box doesn't crash doing this I
feel fairly safe about the hardware before putting it on line.
