In a Slack current I'm not more able to swich
from a KDE X session and another one. If I try
to go back to the first session with ^+Alt+F7,
the system freezes and I must reboot my pc
with the reset button, Anyone else met this problem?

Thanx
MS

I've had it a couple times but I don't run slack current that often. But I
can remember at least 4 different instances that I had your issue.

It happened to me at least once, IIRC it was an ati fglrx driver + new
kernel issue.
If it's fgrlx you can try radeon driver instead and see if it hangs
again. Or maybe you can trace the problem loggin in through ssh, even if
i think you'll just find X using 100% of the cpu.

don't I tend to not run X that much because of my specific software needs.
that I just hate gui's as a rule. so sorry no solution.

Me too. But it happens when I switch from X to another console.
And, apparently, it started when I upgraded to x11-6.8.2.
In a couple of cases I had realplayer running and the last few seconds
were endless played. The machine was not responding to heyboard nor to
network.

I have had this problem recently, but it has gone away for me in the lastest
Slackware-current. I haven't changed any configurations or drivers other
than the upgrades that have made it into -current. I use no third-party X
drivers, just the native xorg ati driver and radeon kernel module.

Interestingly, my default X session now appears to run F8 instead of F7, and
F7 is blank. Not sure why, but console switching works again, so I'm not
complaining.

This is the new default set in KDE 3.4.
See the file kderc in /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/
