One of the things I'm noting is that when I use dual displays with the nvidia driver, and xscreensaver kicks in and keeps going for a period of time, the machine's X.org console eats up a core, and when I try and do anything like gdb Xorg, the system hangs, attempts to panic (I assume that's the case because I hear it beep and attempt to restart), then I have to give it a warm boot. truss(1)'ing Xorg showed that there were a lot of SIGALARM's being fired and masked. This is incredibly reminiscent of the days when I used to run Linux and I forgot to configure my dump device (doh), but this problem appears to be easily reproducible with my environment. I'm fixing that issue right now, so I should have a working crashdump soon... Just wondering if anyone else has seen this issue, or if it's just me once again. Thanks, -Garrett
