Hmm, I found out my problem is the XF86_SVGA server, it goes totally wild when starwriter is run, causing the system to go into a tight loop using all CPU cycles between system & user in the XF86_SVGA process. If I use the XF86_S3V or Xaccel-2.1 (yes I'm on a ViRGE DX) this problem does not surface. So its not our problem, it belongs in the XFree86 camp :) Phev! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end ..
