Browser crashing on remote X session

[Joel Hammer]

Hmm..
I just logged onto a Redhat box from my main server, and can run a remote
xsession with netscape running on that box and I don't get any crashes.
This might be some untraceable videocard problems or who knows, with my
server able to handle whatever graphical demands being made on it by the
client when there is a remote xsession with my server running X.
This is really depressing. I sure don't want to have to play windows and
give each person in the house their own specially configured computer, but,
that is how it is shaping up.
If I could just find where the X logging occurs on my redhat 7.1 boxes,
which crash when running X with a remote xsession, there might be some hope.
