Bug#318849: xserver-xorg: machine randomly crashes when using X on beige G3 (oldworld powerpc)
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Followup-For: Bug #318849
Total system lockup. Can't figure out, why.
Machine runs for days when just using as a server with no direct
Interaction on keyboard or mouse. When I use the machine directly with
the keyboard on X (xfce), it crashes about once a day. A real lockup -
no rescue via nework. The crash happens with different programs active
(firefox, thunderbird, lyx, abiword, ...) and with different memory usage.
I suspect X, because I had no problems using the terminal.
