Re: X still locks up

1) I tried installing the Xpmac.rev10 server that someone recommened in
the hope that that would fix the problem. Unfortunately it didn't as
five minutes ago the system locked up yet again. This seems to suggest
it may be kernel related rather than X related.

2) I recompiled my kernel wth the "Magic Sysrq" support in it. This
seems to work more or less as designed. However when the system locked
up as before the "magic sysrq" key did not work at all meaning I had to
reboot without being able to shut down properly. This suggests to me
that the kernel had itself crashed.

3) When I rebooted there was no kernel panic in the logs. This has me
puzzled. I suppose it could have crashed and not had it written out to
disk in time. On the otherhand this has happened before and each time
there is no panic.

Can you give a try to my current rsync tree (linuxcare.com.au::linux-
pmac-benh) and tell me if it helps ?

Okay I got that kernel working but it crashed overnight :(. Seems like
the problem is still there. It seems to happen most often when I'm
listening to streaming mp3's (ie. internet radio stations or the like)
if that helps.
