I have been having a slight problem with X running on my slackware 2 
(kernel 1.1.32) system. Occasionally the Xserver will completely lock up, 
all the tasks will remain running but there is no way to switch from X to 
a virtual console or to shut down the X server. This happens with any 
window manager (I normally use fvwm)

The system is a 486sx33 8Mb ram 14Mb of swap allocated.

I have a feeling that this is somehow related to a memory problem,
possibly a slightly corrupt swap partition. I have re-run mkswap with the 
-c option, and it returns no errors. Under DOS I have run full memory 
diags which returned no errors.


Any help would be appreciated!

Regards, 

Jonathan
