Now my wife found out and watching our photos wanted to zoom out a bit. Then she just rotated the scrollwheel a lot and expected the zoom to happen. What did happen was that as the there was no apparent response she tried again, and again. Finally the box probably was out of swap space (2GB RAM) and crashed miserably. This is not the expected behavior from a Linux box using a graphics viewer and I now wonder if there is something I can do about it? Kernel parameters? Kview patch? New wife ;-) Best Dag - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
