[WindowMaker] Window Manager hangs on exit

[gpatrick]

WindowMaker starts fine and works without error, however, when I try to exit WindowMaker it closes the dockapps and any xterms or other apps that are open, but then it sits there with the background displayed on the screen. Ctl-Alt-Backspace doesn't close it and I have to do a hard reset.

It doesn't sound like WindowMaker is hanging, but that Xorg is hanging. What video card and drivers are you using? Can you try remotely accessing that machine from another box using ssh?

Does it freeze every single time?

And just to be sure it's not Window Maker, does it freeze too if you use TWM?

[gpatrick]

It's using the Radeon driver for the ATI Radeon 4100 graphics card.

Yes, unfortunately it freezes each time and also does it using twm or windowmaker.

what do you have in /var/log/X.0.log?

[gpatrick]

The log file doesn't exist anywhere.

what do you have in /var/log/X.0.log?
it's /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[adamk]

Try adding this line to the Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Disable "dri"

And then see if the lockups continue.

Not sure what it was but it's working now.
