Hi! After updating 6.1->7.0 with corresponding X and nvidia-driver updates, I started experiencing X freezes. I'll try to investigate it further, but maybe there are people with similar problem or even the cause is known. First symptom was games/outerspace (2D python/pygame game) freezing consuming 100% CPU (sometimes right after start, sometimes after 5-10 minutes of play. This didn't happen on 6.1 with the same version of outerspace and other ports (except Xorg). I've tried to launch it under ktrace, but freezes didn't show themselves. Lately, I had a freeze with xmoto (3D opengl game) and even with idle machine (with no graphic/opengl apps). Seems like process in question starts consuming CPU violently, so even X can't redraw windows properly, and if I'm lucky enough to switch to console, it takes forever to login and kill the app. I don't see a good way to investigate this problem, but I'll start with switching to ULE scheduler, with which I should at least have other apps more responsive. Any suggestions? uname -a: FreeBSD hades.panopticon 7.0-BETA4 FreeBSD 7.0-BETA4 #0: Thu Dec 20 13:28:17 MSK 2007 root@hades.panopticon:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HADES i386 pkg_info: xorg-server-1.4_3,1 nvidia-driver-96.43.01 -- Dmitry A.
