Xdvi & Imagemagick both lockup system.
Hi all,
When I run texdoc I can read a page or so and then the system locks
solid. Xdvi (which texdoc calls) has the same problem, as does
Imagemagick which must call some common subroutine to xdvi. The only
way I have found to avoid the problem is to unzip the tex dvi file and
then read it with gv and, in the case of looking at pictures, to use
what seems to be a deprecated program: xv.
Is there something I can look at, some Fine Manual I can Read, which
will give me a clue? I suspect my video-card, an S3 Virge/GX2, may be
implicated. Part of /var/log/XFree.0.log is below---let me know if I
should include any other information.
Thanks,
Doug.
