My machine (an SMP box) will be non-responsive, no graphics, no ability to use the mouse or keyboard. Upon logging into another machine and using ssh to connect to the hung machine, I can login to it, albeit very slowly. Upon running 'top' I see that the XFree86 process is stuck in *Giant and using > 100% of the CPU (according to top). The only way out is a reboot because if I kill the XFree86 process the machine will completely die. Has anyone else seen this? Is there something I can do to prevent it from happening? Thanks. -- Glenn Johnson USDA, ARS, SRRC Phone: (504) 286-4252 New Orleans, LA 70124 e-mail: gjohnson@srrc.ars.usda.gov
