X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:57:51 -0000 Lately, I've been hovering hither and thither when it comes to which desktop environment I choose when logging in, but several of them seem to insist on starting gam_server, which is just a real CPU hog, and once this thing is started, there's no stopping it. I've looked and looked and still can't figure out how to disable it. I can't even figure out where exactly it's being started from. Whether it's GNOME or XFCE or what-have-you, at login, some add-on tool somewhere is launching this thing, and I just plain don't want it! :-) Any clues, anyone? I'm really worn out from trying to solve this one. Thanks! -- Conrad J. Sabatier conrads@cox.net
