I have been seeing the same symptoms with an S3V system for a long time (6+ months); by varying the options to the S3 server and the system PCI timings I can alter the 'ease of freeze', but it's always possible. Swapping console <-> X and popping up a twm menu will both do it. Either it's a bug in the S3V code, or the hardware itself (I have had occasional lockups on that system with other operating systems as well). -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
