Re: debian sarge xfree86 problem
When i did open up an xterm and typed the command this is what it said (the
expected i'm pretty sure)
selam@thegreatest:~$ script
Script started, file is typescript
selam@thegreatest:~$ xmovie
XMovie (c) 2001 Heroine Virtual
The mpeg file opens fine. When i press play, it restarts and then no
typescript file exists. The mpeg file is one that was previously okay.
And other applications, VLC and xine (which it happenes with as soon as the
application starts) also had problems. An informative /var/log/syslog was
included below.
My roommate suggested that i give you as much info about my system as
possible (he know quit a bit about linux, though doesn't know what happening
here).
My computer is: 1996 Aptiva Computer, 133 Mhz Pentium classic, 48 MB RAM.
Found on /var/log/syslog:

How are you playing the mpeg - i.e., which application are you using to
view it?
Please try this:
- Open a console window, so you have a command line.
- Type 'script' <enter>.
- Start the application you use by typing its name on the command line
and pressing enter. Play an mpeg with it.
- When the xserver restarts, there will be a file called 'typescript' in
the directory you ran the script command. Please post it; it contains
any messages the application emitted before the restart.
