Lately I experienced a couple of times a *freeze* of my X session. The computer does not respond on anything anymore. The OS has not died. I can login (SSH) and force a shutdown -r now, but this is annoying. What happens is that somehow my X (xorg-server-6.8.2_4) sneds a frequency to my monitor which is out of range (monitor states: 105K / 234 Hz). I wonder what can be the reason of thsi wrong freq. I have used DCC in xorg.conf and also commented it out. It has happened in both occasions. I also am pretty sure it ONLY happened when I was surfing the net with mozilla (not sure of the relevance here). I like to get rid of this issue asap. Or at leat want some info how to deal with it. so, who can help me? I have a NVidia GForce 6600GT which is driven by the nv driver. The relevant portion from my xorg.conf: Section "Module" Load "freetype" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "dri" Load "dbe" Load "record" Load "xtrap" Load "type1" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "PHL" ModelName "PHL792b" ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: # HorizSync 30.0 - 92.0 # VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "nv" ChipSet "GeForce 6600 GT" Card "nv GeForce 6600 GT" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11-stable ++ FreeBSD 5.4 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja
