I've also seen this on my T40(Radeon Mobility 9000) since about a year ago. It's hard to say which one is the major culprit as there are too many changes(-CURRENT and X.org ports upgrade) hit to this box. The X server hanging appears to be random here. ssh/ping from outside world still works. Apart from the following X.org logs, the X server in question also occupies a lot of CPU resource: (EE) RADEON(0): Idle timed out, resetting engine... (EE) RADEON(0): Idle timed out, resetting engine... (EE) RADEON(0): Idle timed out, resetting engine... (EE) RADEON(0): Idle timed out, resetting engine... [...] Since the hanging is random here, I can get back to the normal state after a couple of reboot cycles; otherwise, temporarily booting to Windoze XP then reboot to FreeBSD also works for me. -- Cheers, Tai-hwa Liang
