Plant X-Powered-by: FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE Importance: Normal Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Folks, I was running my usual ninety-nine X clients on my 4.1.1-STABLE (Thu Oct 19 11:42:08 EDT 2000) box with XFree86, version 3.3.5 I think, from the 4.1 CD. One of the clients, galeon (built from ports), was taking too long to respond and having stolen my pointer focus, I switched to a virtual terminal and took a look at my processes with top with the intent of killing it. The X server (XF86_SVGA) was at about 70% CPU by that time and rising. I killed galeon and a few other X clients, but the X server carried on climbing. After ignoring signals 15, 1 and 2, the X server gave up with a 3 at about 98%. During this time, I tried several times to switch back to my X session with ctrl-alt-F9, but got nothing more than a beep. When the X server died, I got the following from syslog: Nov 26 06:09:17 hal9000 /kernel: sigreturn: eflags = 0x13286 Naturally, I recognise that the error may well originate with Xfree86 and/or the apps, but I am interested in the cause and its affect on the system. I'll grudgingly accept buggy X clients and even the occasional X server crash, I wouldn't normally expect a kernel message like that. I've searched the list archives and haven't found anything similar to this. I've never seen this error before and hope never to see it again. -Andrew- -- _______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
