I know :) And I even had those 'nice' GFX card problems once on another PC. But those are a lot nastier :D > If you just let it run, then there is no reason for it to hang X imho :/. > But if it only happens when you run gdb and not otherwise... I don't know. > Sounds like a software problem then though. Yeah. I investigated this further. My suspicion that it has to do with threads seem to be correct. If I forcefully stop gdb from using libthread_db to debug threads all will be good. If gdb hooks threads, it seems to muck in a way with them that seems to cause freezes from time to time. I am not sure if this is a very strange bug in SL, a bug in gdb/libthread_db, or a combination of the two+ati driver. We might never find out, as for obvious reasons I cannot debug it :/ Hopefully this will help someone else having the same problem: Just prevent threads from being debugged.
