- I am running AIX3.2.1 on more RS6000's (550's and 220's). In some cases
- (not quite reproducible), when the Xserver exits, the console keeps hanging.
- That means, that the Xserver process really exits, but the background with
- traces of some of the windows stays on the screen, and the console + keyboard
- are dead. The only help I know is reboot :(
-
- I noticed, that this happens mostly in cases where there are many living
- clients, that should be killed by the exiting server. As we mostly exit
- the server by exiting the window manager, I have rewritten the twm, so that
- it tries to delete all of the windows when exiting. It helps much, i.e.
- the hangups do not occur that often, but nevertheless...
-
- Is there any workaround, or does anybody know the reason why the console
- hangs and what to do against it?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Tom
