So, even if it doesn't look like that, I still try to work on this problem ;)<br><br>I tried to change the drivers from "nvidia" to "nv" - but there's at least one case I know, when a PC still crashed, so it doesn't seem to be this :(<br><br>Today, I found out something funny: On a PC where X crashed as described, there were a process called "gdm-binary" (duh, I know, I missed to write down all the parameters and options). I was just killing all the non-system-processes and looking if it would change something - and really, after killing the gdm-binary X restarted itself at once, so that I didn't have to execute init 3; init 5 any more.<br><br>So the big question is - what consequences can we take out of this? Does it mean that gdm is misconfigured, or could it be anything else?<br><br>Max<br><br><br><br>> From: paul_tbot@pcartwright.com<br>> To: overlord_3d@hotmail.com<br>> Subject: Re: [kde-linux] 'End Session' problem<br>> Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2008 07:47:44 -0400<br>> <br>> On Sun March 30 2008, M K wrote:<br>> > Yeah, the factors are always the point... as Germans say, "the devil is<br>> > always in the detail" <sigh like Anne> ;).
