Indeed this happens under load.

What video card would the collective mind of FreeBSD users recommend? I'm not a gamer, this box runs FreeBSD only with a recent xorg, I often watch movies on it. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:suda...@sibptus.tomsk.ru _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
