xprt 902 eats up all cpu cycles

2004-01-10 Thread Tim Krieglstein
Hi

I am currently testing the 4.3.99.902 release on an Radeon 9200. Debian
Sid It is much more stable than the 901 release for me. And i had only one lockup
so far (and i was'nt able to trace the error back to xfree since linux
2.6.0 also had some problems). It was a hard lockup, so couldn't do anything
in finding the error.

Is there any way to debug an running process without having it started in gdb. 
So i could get some more useful information what goes wrong, when the
xprt starts sucking up all cpu again.

In other news i can't start opengl apps anymore. The screen gets black
and only stopping the application brings the screen back (which is kind
of difficult with a black screen ...). My Monitor with 1600x1200 res. is
connected via dvi-d to the gfx-card. But i think this problem is known
but still not solved currently?

I have a Radeon 8500, X11 4.3.99.902, and kernel 2.6.0 all on a dual
Athlon.  There seems to be a problem when I run gnome 2.4 and
xscreensaver. The computer locks up hard and cannot be accessed even via a
remote terminal. Most of the lockups seem to occur when an OpenGL
screensaver is running. There were lockups in the past with some of the
2.6.0-test? versions, but it was always possible to login remotely and
shutdown/reboot etc. Only way to get back on is to hit the reset.  I have
compiled and installed kernel 2.6.1. I'll see what happens with that.

GDB can attach to already running processes, check out the man page,
search for 'attach'.
