Bug#1292: X locks up
Package: xsvga
Version: 3.1.2
I've been using XSVGA with olwm running under Solaris ("SunOS 5.4") as
its window manager, and I've notice that I lose keyboard control with
regularity. Two cases of particular note:
running /usr/openwin/bin/perfmeter (I believe), I lose keyboard
control when I exit the program. This can be solved by remotely
logging in and killing the app, or by logging in to my linux box and
killing X.
running wabi, I also lost control of the keyboard -- here I had to
reboot linux to regain a usable keyboard.
If it's of interest, the way I'm bringing up x is:
in a random terminal session under linux:
nohup X :1 &
xterm -display :1
In the resulting xterm window:
xhost +solarisboxname
telnet solarisboxname [and log in]
myopenwin
[then shut down that xterm]
The script myopenwin is basically the openwin script from solaris
canabalized for just the environmental variable settings (and DISPLAY
defaults to server :1 on my machine) -- and instead of running startx,
it merely runs olwm.
[If I can get linux to work stably, >>then<< I'll see about getting
xdm up on the solaris box.]
