thanks for your reply, I've got the same version with yours, lots of silmilar bugs found by google, I'm wondering if you can properly stop the slim by running "/etc/init.d/xdm stop"? this is a known bug, not sure why you can use it with no issue. have switched to gdm, slower but less buggy. tks fei On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 5:16 AM, Zeerak Waseem wrote: > On Thu, 17 Dec 2009 15:45:20 +0100, fei huang > wrote: > > I've found the slim login manager will hang the computer if I enter "exit" >> or "console" in the panel, >> blank screen and no response at all, had to push the reset button to >> recover. >> >> I did not test it under the previous xorg-server installation, anybody has >> got the same issue? >> I've tried to recompile slim but no help >> >> slim 1.3.1 + xorg-server 1.7.3 (with xcb enabled) + awesome3.4.2 >> >> thanks >> fei >> > > Hey Fei, > > I don't have those issues. > > I'm using slim 1.3.1-r4 and xorg-server 1.7.3.901-r1. > Are you using the same packages?
