Result!!! :-) That fixes the problem with X for me on a kernel/world CVSupped ~ 11th May, which rebuilding XFree86 failed to do. Previously, starting the X server might or might not lock the machine for network access, but definately stopped the console working (beep when try to switch VTs), and the server would eat 75% of CPU. Even just starting the server and moving the cursor around would lock up after a little while, any other clients just seemed to hasten that.. Been up for about 20 minutes now, everything seems normal again. Thanks! As an aside, that (previous) kernel gave me a "de0: autosense failed - cable problem?" message everytime on bootup, (Cogent EM110 card) and the ifconfig line with "media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" in rc.conf didn't help. (the link and RX lights were solid on the switch, no 100TX light despite a message saying it had done the configuration, and no packets passed over that interface at all). I found that I had to take de0 down, delay a few seconds (?? 5 worked) and bring it back up again. Since applying that change to pmap.c, the Cogent Just Works again, which is a very pleasant bonus :-) Regards, AS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
