Hi all-
So I've just encountered a new issue ( for me ) with Xorg, and i'm
having a heck of a time tracking down the source and/or the actual
nature of the issue. When i switch to another computer using my KVM,
Xorg immediately begins to monopolize the CPU, heading up to 95%
utilization. When i switch back to my machine, my USB keyboard works,
but by USB mouse is unfunctioning. I have to force quit Xorg and
restart to restore peace to the land.
Now, this didn't exist on 5.3. I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE, and
xorg-6.8.2 and gnome2-2.10.1 from ports. I get no info in the logs
either. I've searched the archives on this, but it's difficult to
figure out exactly /what/ to search on to match this problem. No love
on the xorg list either.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Regards,

It sounds like the symptoms I had when I tried to run an nvidia card
on my Tyan motherboard with the nvidia drivers. (And I waited for
hours to see if it would stop.) I bet that it is something that the
video card is doing, maybe it is trying probe your CRT to see what
kind it is, or something like that.
(This is all pure speculation on my part, so I don't know.)
interesting! i too am running an nvidia card on my tyan mobo. i think i
will try using the onboard video and see if that fixes it, i don't
/need/ the nvidia card for what i'm doing. thanks for the idea, i'll be
sure to follow up.
best,
darren

no luck! i yanked the nvidia card, the drivers and made sure the nvidia
kernel module wasn't being loaded at startup. i'm back to running off
the onboard video on the Tyan ( 8MB ATI Rage XL ) and the problem still
persists ( see above ). Anyone else seeing anything similar, or might be
able to point me down a different path?
thanks,
darren
