It happened again. This time X didn't come back & I ultimately had to
reboot. But, I was able to log in from another box on the net. I
had:
blinky kernel: stuck on TLB IPI wait (CPU#0)
again according to dmesg, but I think they were the ones from the
previous freeze, because they didn't show up in /var/log/messages &
other things did. The screen, mouse & kbd seemed frozen, but the
system responded to the magic-sysrq key (not on the screen, but the
responses are recorded in the logs). But, killing X & setting the kbd
to XLATE didn't get the system back. X was up at 50% utilization
before I killed it. Now it looks more like X or the video card seized
up. Anyone have any other ideas?
Video card according to output from startx:
