</div>It sounds like X might be stuck in a loop of some kind. strace might<br>
be able to give you some info on what it's doing... try something<br>
like this:<br>
<br>
# ps a |grep X<br>
(get X's pid)<br>
<br>
# strace -p 4066<br>
(or whatever X's pid is)<br>
<br>
The output may give you some insight as to what's going on.<br>

"useevents" "true" and a couple of other driver config tricks did not fix the problem, but since I started using Myth I have had a custom PAL modline, which is now crippling Xorg for some reason. Strange as I have not changed anything for months, software or hardware wise, and have used that modeline for years.<br>
<br>Just happy that it's fixed.<br><br>On a OT aside, we have just taken delivery at work of 55 Windows servers which are to replace 1 small IBM P5 running AIX. Same software from same supplier, just the windows version on top of Windows instead of Unix as we have very little professional experience of Unix, and the decision has been taken to base everything on Windows where possible<br>
