Hi all,

I'd like happily to announce that I could fix the problem. I don't know how 
exactly I did this, but it seems it was a memory and X problem. A friend of 
mine told me to check the output of vmstat and what turned out is that the 
machine was swapping too much. I set the dom0 memory to 512Mb and after several 
X reconfigurations it works now pretty well. Hope this helps other too.

Thank you all for the quick responses,
Elisabeth

Hi Nikola,

thank you for your quick response. I tried to disable them but there was no 
/lib/tls to be moved. Do you think this might be the problem - that i don't 
have tls?

Thank you,
Elisabeth

Hi,

Try to disable the TLS libraries.

mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled

Regards,
Nikola
