I tried svgalib instead of Xvesa and it no longer got the XRequest.138

I am using 800x600 and 8-bit color and will try 24-bit instead.

I got a message about not being able to handle 24-bit color
so I then tried 15-bit color.

15-bit color with svgalib loads MUCH more slowly than 8-bit and the 'text' appears one word at a time, and then the entire page reloads a second time. Maybe sdf is sending bitmapped 8-bit color images of each word of the text.

It did not crash at the slashdot page but it froze up and
I could not enter another URL. On exit more error messages.

I will try links2 later today, and also maybe broadband.
I think links2 does 8-bit color (with svgalib not Xvesa).

Steven, which color depth and which X server(s) did you try?
