Hi, There is a file 'x11-freeze.tgz' in my $HOME/crash.
Its contents and the story as in the README.txt in it is: >cat README.txt This archive contains the following files besides this README file. -rw-r--r-- 1 hifxadm hifxadm 49962 2010-05-28 07:19 dmesg.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 hifxadm hifxadm 41483 2010-05-28 07:20 messages -rw-r--r-- 1 hifxadm hifxadm 18269 2010-05-28 07:16 pkg_info.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-05-28 13:25 README.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 542 2010-05-28 13:24 startx-error.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 hifxadm hifxadm 7606 2010-05-28 07:31 ttys.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 hifxadm hifxadm 189 2010-05-28 07:18 uname.txt -rw------- 1 hifxadm hifxadm 5722112 2010-05-28 06:59 xdm.core-latest -rw-r--r-- 1 hifxadm hifxadm 5722112 2010-05-28 07:37 xdm.core-oneDayb4latest dmesg.txt: ASCII C++ program text messages: ASCII English text pkg_info.txt: ASCII English text README.txt: ASCII text startx-error.txt: ASCII English text ttys.txt: ASCII English text uname.txt: ASCII text xdm.core-latest: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, from 'xdm' xdm.core-oneDayb4latest: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, from 'xdm' I was getting the freezes very often on X but it never core dumped again. When the freeze happens I cannot even toggle the Num lock on the key board. It gets stuck. So I tried to get a core dump by pressing <ctrl><alt><esc> and it dropped to ddb prompt but the keyboard would not function for me to type 'call dumpsys' in the ddb prompt. I then noticed a message on the console that xdm has core dumped. I saw that there were many versions for /xdm.core So I disabled xdm in /etc/ttys to see if the ststem would freeze on a manual 'startx'. But X wouldn't start. The error message is in "startx-error.txt" Thanks :-) --Siju
