This sounds more like a gpu crash, or a deadlock in the xserver. So, I don't think that these two cases are the same. Since you can ssh in, have a look at top while it's hung and see what state the xorg process is in. If it is in drmlk2, it's locked. If that looks ok, then it's probably a gpu crash, if you set sysctl hw.dri.0.debug=3D1 you will probably see a lot of radeon_cp_idle and timeout calls. robert. > HTH, > Rene --=-2W3tbksEFoxnwiyDpX04 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkieBC4ACgkQM4TrQ4qfRONcEwCfRZ6m0DYfUybk1xiDjjsi1YtF gFQAnA4BPTbxDkdg+AI46gcMk96K8P1U =IeMk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-2W3tbksEFoxnwiyDpX04--
