 Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2005 4:32 pm Post subject: X freezes randomly |
 |
|
I am not very optimistic that this problem can be solved but if it can, you guys are the only ones that could help me.
So here's the deal. I'm using gentoo naturally, and Xorg. 2.6.7-r11 kernel. I emerge frequently so I don't have anything out of date, and guess what, my X randomly takes 100% CPU and hangs forever until I kill it with a killall -9 X.
Any ideas what could be going on 
P.S. I don't have any abnormal packages running. My setup is pretty standard. |

What video driver are you using? Window manager? If you are using one of the binary video drivers (Nvidia or ATI), what version are you using and what features did you enable?

It hangs, so sth must be dropped to the logs. Either Xorg.log or system log should ontain some info. |

Xid: 13 probably... to know what the problem is, login from another box with ssh, and do a dmesg... it'll say something like NVRM: XId: 13 or something like that...
I've been having it a lot too recently...
Totally random, and with no matter what nvidia drivers... Luckily new drivers have been released today! maybe they're better...

NVRM, stands for nvidia ram? or what?
Anyway check out the newest drivers... (it's always a good idea) |

If the random lockups you guys are experienced have these symptoms:
- CPU is going at 99%-100%
- screen frozen but the mouse still moves
Then you probably have the problem that users have been posting about for months. If your mouse is still moving when the screen in frozen then you you should become part of this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-334436.html
If this does turn out to be your problem then I'm sorry to inform you guys that there is no answer for the problem yet. |
