Re: XFree86 Lock up

[James Frazer <jfrazer@xxxxxxxx>]

I tried that before -- a while back -- when there was that bug that 
caused part of it to go in circles.  This is a slow machine so I have 
not tried again.

However, I did use your pre-compiled packages, just the other night -- 
but with no luck -- same problem.  It locks up (even when trying to use 
xf86cfg).

I tried a complete re-install from scratch with no luck either.  So I'm 
kind of confused as to how things stopped working.

thanks,

James
