- I've had X11 crash on me three times now. I'm using the SLS 0.98.5
- distribution, with olvwm (from sunsite) added on. The strange thing
- is, I wasn't even doing anything two of the times. I left the room,
- and when I came back, the system was crashed. By crashed, I mean that
- the screen had switched back to text mode (blank), and all input from the
- keyboard was ignored. I never had a problem with 0.96.6 or earlier
- releases. Perhaps there is a bug in the screen blanker. Does anybody
- know about this? Does anybody have a fix? My system is:
-
- 33Mhz 386DX w/ Cyrix 387
- 80 Mb Hd 12 Mb ram (No swap)
- SLS 0.98.5 release with olwvm from sunsite

- Please reply by email, as I don't always have time to read all
- of c.o.l. :-). I think this is a pretty serious bug, as it made
- me reboot and risk fs damage. We wouldn't want to have it in 1.0.
