I am having a problem with 386/ix X windows. Everyonce in a while it seems
like certain events are missed. When I hotkey over the virtual terminal
from which I started X, there is a message "Problem with ptr:OVERFLOW"
I checked (via /etc/crash command strstat) the status of my streams and there
were no failures there. I increased the streams parameter anyway, as s
in this newsgroup. That didn't help. This has happened under 2.0.1, as
well as 2.0.2.
One other symptom which may be related-Every once in a while, if I close a
csh xterm window by typing exit, the xterm goes away, but it leaves the
window mapped on the screen. I can iconify it, bu that is somewhat annoying.
The only way I know to clean it up is to shut down X and restart it.
Does anyone out there have any clue as to what's going on?
Thanx.
