Perhaps not the best test bed, but a test none the less. I'm running a series of make -jX buildworld to put load on the system and running X with XFCE4 to get an idea of system responsiveness. The issue I'm seeing, seconds after launching gnome-terminal, gnome-terminal terminal completely froze. I can move and resize the window, but cannot kill or close it. A quick look at top shows: 38043 djp 20 0 21040K 16456K RUN 1 0:01 0.00% 0.00% gnome-terminal Also, gkrellmd and gkrellm have also both froze. Here's that info: 39481 djp 20 0 16624K 13948K RUN 1 0:02 0.00% 0.00% gkrellm 39321 djp 20 0 4324K 2220K RUN 1 0:00 0.00% 0.00% gkrellmd In my kernel, I've added: options SCHED_ULE # ULE scheduler options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel options PREEMPTION Is there any info I can provide that would shed some light on this? -- Regards, Doug,
