This is the only way I can get a clean crash dump and generate any data -- I've never been able to "cleanly" crash my system running Xorg (it usually freezes). FYI, I'm running multiple VMs (Windows XP, 7), and I've experienced "freezes" running multiple VMs since using VirtualBox (which despite the lockups, I'm SOOOOO thankful to have on FreeBSD -- thanks again to all the VBox devs!!!!)... -Brandon
