The mouse pointer or moved window will be half-drawn, when the system locks (hung keyboard, hung mouse.) Also, the mouse will get jumpy and start to leave "droppings" beforehand, when a crash is imminent. I am running X in 1024x768 mode. I have tried setting the mouse port speed & sample rate in Xconfig to different settings (thinking that perhaps it was being flooded with too many mouse messages), but to no avail. Right now it is at 1200 baud. My system is: 386-33 + 387, 12MB RAM 386bsd-0.1 up to patchkit 0.2.3 syscons-0.2 console driver XFree86-1.2 Microsoft Mouse Diamond Speedstar w/1MB (ET4000 chipset) big (70MB) swap partition Is there something else that needs to be done in configuring X that I have forgotten? Any help would be appreciated. Glenn Durfee gdurf@brl.mil
