Re: [kde-freebsd] How to kill process if X is frozen during fancy KDE4 windows effects?

2010-07-12 Thread Mina R Waheeb
This sounds like new HD vega cards, I think you need to track the logs. or
provide any information that maybe could help to identify the problem. I had
almost the same problem with my ATI HD card, with the latest update of XORG
and -CURRENT it just working fine (with visual effects enabled). In most of
the cases happended to me the vega card totally hang the mouse still move
but it not responding to repaint anything so you can't event switch to
terminal. so if you have some luck hit the power button and wait the machine
to shutdown or just disable the visual effects :)

 I run KDE4 with nvidia card. KDE4 desktop effects are on, so when window
 comes back from the icon it goes through some motion slowly blowing out
 from the icon.

 Very rarely, but screen freezes during such motion. Mouse still moves,
 window that was blowing out of the icon stays in the shape of curved
 triangle. Keyboard is frozen, Ctrl-Alt-FN doesn't switch to black
 terminal. I can only connect to the host from outside and kill the
 unfortunate X-client that caused the hang. After this it works just fine
 again.

 My question is: what to do if there is no other host on the net? How to
 kill the process?

It's not Vega card, it's 9400GT card.

I had this happen to me at least 3 times over the last 6 months. But 
killing the process always helps. Luckily I have another hosts on my net.
