Yeah! I'd been experiencing X lockups every now and again. The display
would hang at a particular frame and no keyboard or mouse input worked.
Even ctrl-alt-f1 had no effect. However, I was able to telnet in. I just
recently (i.e. couple of days ago) juggled my pci cards about so that no
irqs are shared anymore. And whadya know, X doesn't lockup anymore :)
I don't know if this is related to the long-term type "full" lockups ppl
are experiencing. I wouldn't really know since I normally power my box down
every night. In fact, I doubt its related at all.
BTW: www.bp6.com has an article on a new FC-PGA -> PPGA converter :D
