Hi,
I just posted a message regarding the problems I am seeing with X
appearing to lockup.
This seems to occur when moving rouund the menus in mythtv-setup fast
with the keyboard more than at other times.

I'm not sure if what I am seeing is related to this thread but I just
checked the
X process on this box when it is in its 'locked' state and it seems it
is consuming
all available CPU:-

root      4077  4074 15 Dec19 tty7     02:26:12 /usr/bin/X :0 -br
-audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth vt7

'top' shows:-

 PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 4077 root      25   0  231m  74m 3940 R 99.9  7.4 146:08.06 Xorg


I'm using an Nvidia fx5200 , Athlon 64, motherboard is a nForce 3 chipset,
Ubuntu 6.10 and 0.20 myth packages.

Thanks for any insight in to this problem.

Mike
