oh boy, It happened to me on my amd64 machine in 2.7 development last week. everything stopped responding keyboard mouse etc. I thought it was the window manager problem ( enlightenment ) so i tried different window manager but it still froze. Yes as you said I also had firefox in it. Then I tried the i386 port. 2.7 development on the same hardware. i had no problems when i was using the xorg packages from avalon. but yesterday i did two things. 1) complie an SMP kernel. 2) make pkgsrc-update && pkg_rolling-replace -u Today the system froze. I thought it was the SMP kernel but then I booted in the old kernel and still the system froze. I changed the window manager from enlightenment to ctwm but it still showed the same problem. I guess it is the xorg in pkgsrc current that is the culprit. But I am not sure since it was time to leave office i thought I will do further tests on monday and try to corner the bug and report it. thanks --Siju
