Hi Janet,
medm 3.1.5, and EPICS_BASE 3.14.12
medm is running on an  RHEL5 machine

When the xserver is RHEL6 (even recent versions of Fedora), that's when we have our local X11 crash.  I'll try building and running medm on an RHEL6 platform.

-ps

Hi Paul,

What version of medm are you using? We are running both linux-x86 and linux-x86_64 versions
of medm using RHEL6.

medm has worked very reliably for us until we upgraded our workstations to RHEL6 x86_64. medm (and some other MOTIF apps) now crash the workstation's X11, bringing you back to the login screen. Yuk. medm starts fine, but will bomb after some short time (5-60 minutes). We didn't come across an easy fix, so we've converted our medm displays to BOY. We're a year or so from operations so we have to either resolve the medm/MOTIF/X11 issue or retrain our EPICS users for BOY.

The medm application is running on a (remote) RHEL5 x86_64 machine, not the local RHEL6 workstation which is just the x server.


Anyone else have this problem with medm and RHEL6?
