Re: [gentoo-user] X locks up
So far, I haven't checked the output of Xorg.0.log. Next time it locks up, I'll check that and file a bug with freedesktop with all my details. The two bugs you cite may be similar, but since I still get the lockup with 1.4.6.1, it's not quite the same. -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] X locks up
I have been having trouble with my system. For some reason, I've only noticed it recently, but nothing has been updated on the system. What happens is that sometimes (amazingly frequently) when I have open office running on my right screen and I click File, the displays will freeze. The system is still running, because I can get in from one of my terminals. I check and X is consuming 100% of one processor. I can kill openoffice and ctwm (my window manager) reasily, but I have to use -9 option to kill to get X to die. Even after that, though, the video and keyboard are still locked. The only way I know of to get them back is to restart the system. IIRC, it only happens when OOo is on the right screen, but I can start oowriter2, put it on the right screen, and click file and it won't always lock things up. System info: openoffice-bin-2.1.0 xorg-x11-7.1 xorg-server-1.1.1-r4 (VIDEO_CARDS=mga, INPUT_DEVICES=keyboard mouse) libXinerama-1.0.1 ctwm-3.7 Video card: Matrox G450 System starts up to a CLI login, not XDM Anyone have any clue as to what is going on here? Is there a way I can release the hold on my keyboard and/or display so that I can just get to the console so that I can reissue startx? -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
