Hi, Starting with 8.3, I've been experiencing FreeBSD freezing up completely after using firefox for a while. Thinking the problem would go away if I upgraded to 9.0, I did that and I am still experiencing the same freezing up. The mouse pointer freezes, the keyboard freezes (caps lock light will not come on; Ctrl-Alt-F[1-10] does not work etc.). The only way to get the system back is by pressing and holding down the power button. The problem seems similar to: kern/163145 There is nothing in /var/log/messages to indicate a problem. Output of pciconf -lv and uname -a are at: http://www.eskimo.com/~joji/wisdom/ Anybody else experiencing similar freeze ups with 8.3 or 9.0 while using firefox?
Since Firefox uses all kinds of GPU stuff nowadays. Is it possible it locks up your graphics card?
I suggest trying to turn of GPU hardware acceleration in Firefox. Ronald. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
