I've been using FreeBSD 6.0 on a dual core 64 bit P4 for a couple of months. After a ports upgrade last week, strange effects started happening with X. Some images being displayed by KDE, Firefox, and Thunderbird did not display properly. Refresh of overlapped windows worked for a few minutes, but then started failing. Within a few seconds of that, the machine locked up completely. Existing ssh sessions were dropped, CTRL-ALT-F? no longer worked. CTRL-ALT-DEL and CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE had no effect. Even pushing the power button did not do anything. The screen was still displayed, but the pointer stopped moving as well. Pulling the power plug was the only effective method. The machine will run for an indefinite period if X is not started. Updating the kernel, the world, and the ports did not solve the problem. Reinstalling 6.0-RELEASE does solve the problem. Upgrading Xorg causes the problem to reappear. The machine is a Dell XPS 400 dual core with ATI Radeon X300 graphics using: vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0 Disabling XMP in the kernel did not help. Should I file a problem report, or is this being worked on? I can give network access to the machine, if someone needs to look at it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
