It seemed to be working fine with an earlier 5.x built from CVS, using the XFree86 version of X11 for the past few months and it seemed fine. Last week, I CVSupped and rebuilt the OS and kernel, and switched over to Xorg. Since then, the system has locked up hard, several times a day, always associated with an X11 event -- like a window popping to the top. The system hangs totally, no mouse, no CTL-ALT-F1, won't even respond to a ping. I have to reboot it. Actually, I have to power-cycle it, otherwise when it boots and I say "startx" or "xdm", the screen will blank and it will hang again. Power-cycling seems to clear this. In either case, there's nothing logged -- not that I've found. After power-cycle, sometimes the BIOS menu pops up and says something about about the system hanging due to CPU or Memory speed problems and that it's set these to default conservative values, or something. But it doesn't help anyway: it still hangs minutes/hours later when some graphics event occurs. I've had to replace my beloved dual head with an old PCI card I had lying around cuz I couldn't do anything. It hasn't hung at all. Any suggestions on how I could track this down? Thanks.
