I'm using 2 X-servers. 1 for normal X11 with xterms etc. and the other
server as XDM-Client for a Windows NT machine with ntrigue. Normally
everything went fine but when I switch between the 2 servers sometimes
the keyboard hangs. The problem only occurs when changing back from the
ntrigue-screen to the unix-screen. The other direction seems to be ok.
Another problem is that also the X11-server (unix) exits without
any reason and I get no VT consoles anymore (I'm using standard syscons).
Even when I try to repair anything from another machine (maybe another startup
of X) I have a dead keyboard. When I try to switch to any VT-screen I get
an error beep, but I can't get out of the active screen...:-(
I'm using 2.2.1R, the machine has 32MB RAM and I have 64MB swap space. So, it
shouldn't be a problem with memory. Anyway, the keyboard shouldn't hang.
Has anyone such experiences too ? Can anyone help me ?
Thanx & Bye,
Udo
