OK, this happened again on my M10 laptop. Xorg chews a CPU core with 100% user 
time. Only kill -9 gets rid of it, so I did that via SSH. X came back up fine, 
then when I logged out I got text mode screen with a flashing cursor. I then 
svcadm disabled gdm, then enabled and X came up, along with an "unable to 
authenticate user" error.

I will try my 32-bit machine now, but I'm going to have to reinstall build 130 
to do that unfortunately since I already deleted that BE.

What info do you need from me to "root cause" this, and how do I get it?

Thanks

Andrew.
