Several months ago I upgraded my PC system to Debian 4.0 for
several reasons,
including being able to use X11R7.1 which was supposed to be
a most excellent
upgrade.
I have had nothing but trouble attempting to run it as an X
server for my
classic-ish machines. IRIX 6.5.30/Origin200 gives random
X-server crashes (when I
try Xnest it crashes both Xnest and the parent X), and there
is likewise
wierdness when I try to use it to connect to my VAX 4000/200
running VMS v7.3 and
DECwindows/Motif 1.2.6 (in Xnest windows will migrate
outside of the
designated server (to the :0 server), and running on it's
own screen with XDM the
server will often reset before I get the DECwindows
"desktop", dropping me back at
the XDM login screen).
Anyone seen these types of problems before? It seems as
though X11R7.1 just
"doesn't work" remotely with R6.X and R5.x clients
reliably (haven't tried it
with my Suns or HP boxes). I currently was given a
"new" machine (as in not
classic), P4/2.8 with an nVidia 5200 (which might be the
problem source) that I'm
running. I've been considering whether this would be fixed
in X11R7.2 or
whether I should try to do a parallel install of X11R6.4 or
if I should try it
with a Rage128 card in place of the nVidia.
