[gentoo-user] RE : [gentoo-user] problem with X locking up
Title: RE : [gentoo-user] problem with X locking up I had the same problem with my graphic card ati radeon 8500 It was working during several month and suddenly, I had several freezes at X launch ... You can kill some files relating to the X server in /var directory. But to solve the problem, I changed the card drivers ( drivers coming from ati) and since, I never got problem like this. Cheers .. Stéphane -Message d'origine- De : Aaron Walker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Envoyé : mercredi 19 novembre 2003 11:36 À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : [gentoo-user] problem with X locking up I got home from work this morning (I work nights), to find my machine locked up. This also happened the day before last. I could not switch to any of the terminals (via ctrl-alt-F1, etc). I was able to login via ssh from another pc, however. After running top, I noticed X was using 99% cpu. Sending X the SIGKILL signal was the only way I could get back into the box w/o rebooting. I'm kind of awestruck because I've used linux for 6 or 7 years now and this is literally the first incident I've had with anything locking up on me. It's happened twice so far, both during the night while I was at work. I would think if it was an overheating problem it would happen during the day while I am sleeping, but it hasn't so far. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

[gentoo-user] problem with X locking up

Re: [gentoo-user] problem with X locking up
what have been your last emerge just before the first incident? use genlop if you don't remember. no clue in your XFree86.0.log? The last package I emerged was wither gnome-vfs-extras or gnome-print. No, nothing abnormal in XFree86.0.log -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

That was on ~x86 a few weeks ago. Now, I'm back on x86 and the problem is gone so I can only attribute it to the testing xfree ebuilds. Nasty problem to have. My machine suffered filesystem and therefore data corruption and portage stopped working so I had to reinstall. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
