It's possible :)
But first this: I learned SSH the last days (I really didn't know
anything about it before, except that it *somehow* might provide a way
to access one computer with another one), that's why I'm a bit late to
continue this thread. So thanks for being patient until now.
Most of the following from my lousy memory:
I provoked one of these ugly crashes on the alu-book, where I
re-enabled dri via xorg.conf again, without having installed the new
DRM you, Michel, were recommending:
I logged into the crashed system on the alu-book from an older Ti-IV
Powerbook via ssh (I think I did before the system crashed), su-ed to
root after some time , watched the processes via top, and saw xorg
taking around 99% CPU at the time of the crash. I could not even stop
xorg via a 'kill -s 9 <xorg-PID>'
/etc/init.d/xserver-xorg stop
/etc/init.d/x11-common stop
didn't help either.
At another instance of a crash like that, on the alu-book screen after
some time some sort of garbled non-console screen was showing up. I would
not even call it a garbled KDE login screen .. Difficult to define ...
At the time of the crash:

# ps ax | grep kdm
2986 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/kdm
3058 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep kdm
---------------------------
I did a 'kill -s 9 2986', after that kdm was gone, but 'top' still
showed 'Xorg' swallowing ~99% CPU.
'/etc/init.d/x11-common status' gave me zero output, ditto a
'/etc/init.d/xserver-xorg status'
Perhaps not being so important, but anyway:
Could someone tell me what exactly 'top' means by 'Xorg'? Because if
there are other, so far unknown instances of the xorg-server I should
know about, I'd like to try close them down instead of shutting down
the whole system.
As one might guess from the latter, this here worked :) :
-------------------------
# shutdown -r now
Broadcast message from root@debby1-6 (pts/0) (Sun Jun 4 14:21:56 2006):
The system is going down for reboot NOW!
[ ... ]
-------------------------
... and the crashed machine was rebooted .. :)
Michel: Do you want to do me more tests on this alu-book around the
time it crashes, before I try to install the DRM you suggested to try?
I'll wait until tomorrow (Monday) afternoon with the DRM
install/tests. And no problem if you want some more time than until
tomorrow: After all it's week-end .. Just let me know in time, please
..
Thanks in anticipation
Best Regards
Wolfgang
