Hello All I've been seeing system freezes on freebsd 6.2 Release and also the older RC2. Absolutely No errors reported in logs. Suddenly the mouse cursor movement is reduced to a crawl, and the keyboard freezes. Mouse-clicks do not launch any applications or switch tasks. I cannot switch back to vty1/2/3... or any console and had to resort to cold-starting a dozen times to recover from the hangs in the last few days, dirtying my filesystem in the process each time.. sometimes had to reinstall corrupted kde/xorg packages I'm writing this mail from windows, so I do not have the uname and Xorg logs with version numbers, but from memory its freebsd 6.2 release#3 i386 machine. Xorg release 6.9. KDE version 3.5.4 . In case my version number recall is mistaken - Gnome/KDE are the versions obtained remotely on the 15th of Jan. I did cvsup and buildworld steps today 17th of Jan. The problem has remained since RC2. I did not have X during RC1, so I don't know if it was present in that release. This is on an athlon64 cpu soc 754 with nforce3 250gb chipset with Radeon 7500. DRI is loading correctly on startup. No hangs on windoz, so its not a hardware issue. Unless its got to do with freebsd drivers for usb wireless (iBall) keyb/mouse. But the system never hangs if I don't load X/Gnome/KDE. Sound/Artsd seems to work fine. I see this on both regular 4.4BSd and ULE scheduler based kernels Please reply-to-all as I am not subscribed. -- Rgrds GobbledeGeek [Everything but Gobbledegook.. !!]
