I have also seen this happen. In my case the last couple of times it happened was when, using ooffice, I went to the "File" menu. That is, I had been using ooffice for a while without trouble, entering information to a spreadsheet, and when I went to the "File" menu, X locked (same symptoms: 100% CPU). > Does killing openoffice and/or every other application that might be > talking to the x server free it up? Killing ooffice doesn't solve anything. I didn't try to kill other random apps. Im my case, I am using the fvwm2 window manager and I think I am using the Nvidia driver: grep nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf Driver "nvidia" For me, this problem started after the upgrade to 10.2. Before it (9.3) I don't remember such a problem in connection with ooffice. > > This happens maybe once a week - the workstation is running 24h/day, and > > is otherwise hardly ever restarted. Same here. At this moment, my X has been running for the past 21 days. As you can imagine, having to kill X is _very_ disrupting. -- rps -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
