11 Hi,
12 I'm in fluxbox (sort of) right now and my machine has just crashed.
13 The crashes started for me when I upgraded to Xorg 6.8. I don't have any
14 problems when running X, but this is the 4th time that I've crashed when
15 exiting fluxbox.
16
17 My crashes are not complete. I am ssh'ed into the machine and can
18 actually reboot it cleanly. The crash is apparently only X for me.
19 Here's what I see with a ps aux:

94 A reboot command from here will get the machine back and happy. I
95 haven't figured out what to kill exactly to just get back to a console.
96 The bash session starte at 6:26AM is the one I ran fluxbox from. Killing
97 it does no good. It seems that all the X processes are gone...
98
99 When rebooting I lose the ssh login before the screen blanks out so I
100 cannot tell much about what is happening.
101
102 I got here by using Ctrl-backspace BTW...
