Basically, I debug [X] by disabling features until it doesn't lock up, & then I use those settings until it causes lockups (from updates). mplayer would reliably lock Xorg if I used (or allowed) vo=sdl or higher (gl, gl2, whatever). vo=x11 a) never locks up xorg & 4) doesn't allow resizing of windows to scale the player. Oh f'well. Summary: Xorg on FreeBSD is a crap shoot based on your card. IIRC a T42 is one of those terrible i915 or something video cards. Ugh. Sorry. -- --
