I had a long run of X siezures where I could remote in sometimes and sometimes not. Sometimes I had to reset and fsck. No key sequences on the siezed machine had any effect other than expressing my frustration. FWIW, I changed my workstation from a machine with a crappy bare-bones video card (Trident) to a machine with a less crappy bare bones video card (ATI Rage something or another). That put a stop to the X siezures. Not an elegant solution admittedly but I was able to run two desktops side by side and compare stability. I was not able to find any direct evidence that positively suggested that I should change video cards. Good luck. -- Mike Mueller 324881 (08/20/2003) Make clockwise circles with your right foot.
