I beleive this is a bug, but I don't know it is in FreeBSD or XFree86. I will try to install Linux on one of my machines to determine the problem. The crashing is very bad. It fills up Mach32 board and the machine has to be rebooted to clean up the mess. I more believe it is a XFree86 bug since I tried Mach32 on different motherboard and 2.0.5R and 2.1-xxxx-SNAP. It always crashes. -- /-------------- Jin Guojun ------------ v ---- Internet: g_jin@lbl.gov ----\ | Imaging & Distributed Computing | Usenet: ucbvax!g_jin@lbl.gov | | Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory | Bitnet: -- | | 50B-2239, Berkeley, CA 94720 - jin%george.lbl.gov@Csa3.LBL.Gov |
