[comp.windows.x] spontaneously catatonic X display

lipton@odin.m2c.org (Gary Lipton) (08/22/89)

I am running X11 Ultrix 3.0 on a GPX.  I am using uwm and xterm (no
dxwm, dxterm, etc.)  Every now and then (maybe three times/day)
my display freezes and my cursor turns into a white rectangle.  Sometimes
it follows the mouse, and sometimes it just stays in the upper left
corner.  Five or ten minutes later, I get my login window, and I
can start over. 

Sometimes this happens when I start up an xterm, but then again, sometimes
it just happens.  Sometimes it happens as soon as I log in.  I haven't
seen any correlation between what I'm doing and when it happens.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
