If I go to a virtual terminal, and kill java: 70143 ?? S 226:45.23 /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java -jar /usr/local/share/java/classes which is running jbidwatcher, and then xdm: 70104 ?? Ss 25:46.37 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -auth /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/authdir/authfiles then things are fine - getty notices that xdm is gone, and it gets restarted, I log in and everything is good. If I do not kill those from a virtual terminal, then I have to power cycle the machine, because X does not respond. I have no keyboard or mouse (that I can tell), CTL+ALT+Fx does not do anything, etc. Any suggestions? There is nothing suspicious in the Xorg log file, and the primary manifistation that anything is wrong is that moving from virtual desktops (I use a 2x2 under fvwm2) is slow to redraw the desktop. "top" reports that I have aroud 1GB available memory, so that is not the problem, but it sure seems like Xorg is thrashing. And why it seems to depend on jbidwatcher is also a mystery. jdk info: jdk-1.5.0p3_6 Java Development Kit 1.5.0 Bruce -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I like bad!"
