First weird thing: 1882 tty2 00:00:13 X 1936 tty1 00:00:00 agetty 1937 ? 00:00:00 agetty 1938 tty3 00:00:00 agetty 1939 tty4 00:00:00 agetty 1940 tty5 00:00:00 agetty 1941 tty6 00:00:00 agetty Normally X runs on virtual console 7 and shows up in ps listing without a controlling terminal. Somehow, you managed to start X on tty2, I'm not sure if that is intentional or not. But anyhow, you shouldn't be spawning a getty on the same tty as you run X. That is IMHO almost guaranteed to cause a conflict. Second thing: 1927 ? 00:00:00 smbd 1932 ? 00:00:00 smbd 1919 ? 00:00:00 winbindd 1928 ? 00:00:00 winbindd You seem to be running multiple copies of certain daemons. It is possible that these daemons start child processes but I can't tell, since your ps output doesn't use the -H option nor give the PPID. If they are indeed duplicate instances, I can't predict the result but I don't think it is healthy. See again Dan's earlier posting. KDM and startx are normally alternative ways to start X. By alternative, I mean mutually exclusive, one or the other but not both. -- Barius -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
