I can reproduce the original report relatively precisely. It appears to be related to 3D acceleration.
I'm using the most recent packages in Lenny on AMD64, with a PCIE ATI Radeon X800XT. Using the default XAA acceleration, not EXA. Start an X session (without compiz, tested in Gnome and fluxbox) and start gnome-screensaver-preferences. Click "preview" and cycle back and forth through the screensavers.. it will pretty quickly hang on a GL screensaver, but the mouse pointer will still be active (usually the screensaver draws nothing). top will show the process for the GL screensaver hack to be taking 100% of the processor time. Kill that process, then Xorg will take 100% of the processor time, and cannot be killed. With EXA, the Xorg process itself will be at 100% utilization and cannot be killed straight away. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
