Hi Folks:
I know I've asked before, but it is so frustrating to lose an hour
of work, trying to convince myself that I won't get reamed this
time. But I keep going back, like to some sort of abusive
codependent relationship, to put it into California terms.
I'm using a molecular graphics model building crystallography
program called coot, but this happens with enough other X11
applications that I don't think it is the fault of coot. Prior to
OS X 10.5, I never ever had a problem with X11.
If I try to resize a window while the program is loading, it is a
guarantee that the Xserver will freeze. However, if I try to be
real careful, I can start to get work done, but then when some
window or pop-up menu appears, a half hour or an hour into a session
of work, I'll get a random freeze.
I'm running 10.5.2 on intel (but this happens on all my 10.5.2
computers, ppc and intel) and the latest X11 from the update page,
and when I sample the frozen processes I get this as output:
<Sample of X11.txt>
<x11_hosing.txt>
My kids want to know why I swear at the computer so much. I'm almost
ready to reformat the disk and install ubuntu linux.
Thanks.
Bill Scott
