10.1 Freezes shortly after I start a windows manager.

danhm · 02-12-2005, 06:46 PM

I have installed Slackware 10.1 a few times, and I have the same problem
everytime: shortly after typing "startx" or selecting a windows manager in gdm, it freezes. The cursor won't move, no keyboard commands do anything, caps/num/scroll lock won't turn on or off, etc.

Sometimes it happens in less than 10 seconds (KDE), and some times I'll last for a good 15 minutes (Xfce).

I did a full install, and have set up X. Did I miss something?

I'm assuming I should try and run mkfontdir?

Not anything real bad in the log,you could put a # in front of load module speedo
and in front of load dri and try that
May be a problem with the memory or cpu is getting hot.

Is there a hidden setting to display CPU temp that I'm missing in gkrellm?

I run at about 62 F in Windows, and my BIOS is set to warn me at 74 F.

I guess I can just take my case's side off for the mean time.

My RAM just passed memtest86, so I don't think it is that.

If its not the memory and it doesn't run hot in windows its not that,post your /ect/X11/xorg.conf at your site and post the link,may be something in that.You
