No, I think there is some weirdness associated with starting X going on. I have reported this before. Today, the incosistency is not too great, but it is inconsistent, % w 11:33PM up 51 days, 29 mins, 6 users, load averages: 0.11, 0.10, 0.18 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT cjc v0 - Wed06PM 4:48 xinit /usr/home/cjc/.xinitrc - cjc p0 :0.0 Wed06PM - elm cjc p1 :0.0 Wed06PM 6:47 top . . . Notice that I have only logged into my machine at ttyv0 4:48 ago and then started X. X in turn spawns an xterm with top in it... somehow top has been running two hours longer than the X process it is running within. My top _always_ has nonsense idle times. More typical is something like 20 hours idle when X has only been up one or two. This happens on both of my 2.2.8 machines with X and happened back when they were 2.2.7. -- Crist J.
