schultz@mmm.serc.mmm.com (John C Schultz): >We have been suffering an intermmitent problem with diskless SUN 3's >crashing after coming out of xlock under X11R2 (SunOS 3.5). >... >the display will go black and no keyboard or mouse entry is allowed. Even >L1-A does nothing. Powering off and back on is the only cure.... Sorry I can't offer any help but at least I can commiserate. We have been experiencing similar problems with our sun 3/50s and 60s. We are running X11R3 under 4.0. I haven't connected the problem with xlock, but we do regularly run xlock. We also run X11R3 on our 4/260 but haven't had the problem there. One thing I should make clear is that the sun isn't actually "crashed". In our case it's only the monitor which has died, and the CPU board's L.E.D.s don't indicate an error. Our suns are happily babbling away on the net while the monitor and keyboard are down. Can anybody help? Paul Smith paul@amos.ucsd.edu pssmith@ucsd (619) 534-2695
