[ILUG] X freezes

[Alan Sobey]

Hi,

X freezes on me maybe once every one or two days (which is seriously
annoying after a while :) ), though I can telnet in from another
machine to kill X.  It seems to happen when I resize (or perhaps move)
windows.  First thought is the window manager (sawmill - or sawfish as
it's now going to be called) I wouldn't have thought that the window
manager could hang X.  Second thought: I've esd running and it seems
to be affected by resizing the windows (i.e. mp3s skip slightly when
resizing), could this cause it?

I'll probably upgrade to Xfree86 4.0 but before I start downloading,
does anyone have any suggestions/ideas?

Possibly relevant software: 
Mandrake 7.0 
Xfree86 3.3.6 
Matrox G400 
Helixcode gnome and sawmill (freezes occured b4 these were updated)
Aureal 1 Soundcard (beta driver)

Thanks,
Alan.
