I read your post rapidly, but I give you my two cents: the program
(and/or wine) is drawing a big bitmap (possibly because of a wrong
calculation about screen size etc.) and this triggers a problem in the X
driver. No wonder it works when on ssh. There are only two things that
can lock a machine; the kernel and X.
The hard disk is not guilty, sure. :-)
Well, that last is certainly good to hear; many thanks!
The rest is over my head. I don't even follow why it is that ssh
helps, alas!
The same map program works fine on other F11 machines, under
Wine. Does that not show, as I think, that the problem is specific to the
T30 in some way??
Can somebody translate it down to my level, suggest how to test
it, and what to do about it?
