I recently upgraded my system to XFree86 4.1.0 to fix some problems.
Now my screen occasionally freezes, and a remote login shows XFree86
using up progressively more CPU (70,80,90,100%). It's possible to
kill X (with -KILL only), but doing so leaves the screens in an
unusable state (i.e. the console never comes back, even after
restarting X and switching to the console). These lockups happen
fairly frequently, I've had as many as 2-3 in one day, none on
other days though. Some system details:
OS Version: FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE
X package: XFree86-4.1.0_4 X11R6.4/XFree86 core distribution (complete)
(downloaded from ftp.FreeBSD.org)
X driver: ati
Video cards: ATI Mach64 GT
ATI Rage 128 Pro PF
Any thoughts on what might be causing this erratic behaviour, or
suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks.
