Running sylpheed-gtk1 remotely, I see no problems and even up 18fps in a Flightgear session at 1600x1200x24bpp on a 2048x1536x24bpp KDE-3.5.2-2 on this 7yr old amd k6-2 450MHz rig, ok 1.5 yr old ATI 9250 clone, RV280|5960 chip, on a X-7.0.0 radeon driver. > Anyway, 140KB is definitely not going to be a reason for the X server > to crash, so let's reassign this to the xserver now. ..whatever does the job. :o) ..could it be a font thing? These crashes started after the font I had set up for Sylpheed-gtk1, disappeared off this box, everything else works like it should, AFAICT. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case.
