X problem

Hi,

I have a user sitting at a (not necessarily patched up-to-date )
Solaris 2.7 machine. Every once in a while, an error appears in
/var/dt/Xerrors:

Wed Aug 7 11:52:07 2002
error (pid 270): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly 0
sunffbDriverInit: Warning: cannot get video mode -
Continuing with current setting.
Default Font Path: /usr/openwin/lib/X11/

After that, a user starts experiencing a weird behavior - he can open
some X applications like xterm, but he can't open emacs, xemacs or
3rd pary graphical tools - the window never comes up. Log out/log in
solves the problem until the next time, but it's not an option for him
now.

What causes this behavior, and what's the best way to fix it?

Thanks and will summarize

Igor
