wondering if anyone has seen this before.... it seems the mozilla
(v1.2) browser (not mail client) will lock up my entire box (not even
pingable). first started happening when i was running v1.3a, figured it
was just alpha, and installed 1.2. seems to happen more w/root than
other users. tried ripping and reinstalling the program w/no luck.
haven't really found a pattern other than when i change pages, and
while thats loading, hit a dropdown menu or move the window. tho thats
not always the case. sometimes its just open (or shaded).
i'm running slackware8.1, blackbox 0.65, kernel 2.4.20, on a machine
w/1GHz Athlon, 768M RAM, so it shouldn't be resource problem. it even
happens when mozilla is the only thing open in X.
is there something else i'm overlooking? never freezes up when mozilla
is not open, regardless of what other programs i do have open. this is
a relatively new install on linux, only been up for about a month or so.
i have installed quite a few different programs/libraries right around
when this started happening (QT, GTK, linuxconf) tho i'm not sure that
they could be effecting them. the only two plugins i have installed in
mozilla is Java and Shockwave.
any ideas, anyone else run into this also? i had this problem in RH7.3
and RH8 in the last year too, but not nearly as often, and windows
partition doesn't have any problems (tho i dont' spend a whole lot of
time in that)
thanks
