<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I
have a fedora 7 system running on a dual Xeon CPU X-64 system. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Everything
works ok except for GDM. The GDM application keeps crashing on the system. It
will run for about a week, and then crash. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> This
is causing my users to not be able to use the main screen of the machine,
because they cannot get a proper desktop. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> If
they login using freeNX everything works ok. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> We
use this server for running simulations that can take months to complete (we
currently have one that has been running for 9 months) so rebooting once a week
is out of the question. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Here
are the errors from /var/log/messages:<o:p></o:p></p>
