Hi, - there have been reports about X11 freezing the entire system on 5.2. I managed to get rid of these freezes by removing SMP and apic support from my kernel. (Single CPU machine, of course.) Although I suggested this procedure to some people on freebsd-questions, nobody seemed to take notice of it; everyone solely blamed ACPI. So I guess that the following confirmation may be of some interest for those that don't have time to follow freebsd-questions. Greetings and thanks for your great work, - Martin -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Problems with startx on 5.2-RELEASE Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2004 18:09:56 +0100 From: Jaroslaw Nozderko <jarek@eko.net.pl> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > > Have you tried removing > > options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel > device apic # I/O APIC > > from your kernel config and recompiled? > The same problems with X on 5.2-RELEASE as in RC2 (X freezes on startup or shutdown). hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" helps, but causes strange warnings in dmesg (and shutdown doesn't switch power off...). Then I've commented out SMP and apic from kernel, as Martin suggested above and problem disappeared, acpi works correctly.
