Hi DU Admins
I got two quick replies to my question about a runaway Xdec
process and a blank console monitor on a 433au running DU4.0c.
Thanks to Robert L. McMillin and Karim Keshavjee. Karim's reply
provided the solution. This is a known bug affecting systems
with the 4D40T graphics card. There is a patch for this in
the latest DU4.0C patch kit.
The problem appears at regular times including:
Mon Aug 18 00:26:01 1997
Mon Oct 6 17:28:48 1997
I had to use 'kill -KILL' to kill the process. Then I did
'/sbin/init.d/xlogin stop' followed by '.. start'.
Now everything is working fine and I can log in at the console
again.
Thanks
Ian
