Try emerging app-benchmarks/stress and running that. That runs everything but X. And it tunable to see what's taking resources. The other thing to try is stoppping everything, with X still running and starting up one of the rss-glx screensavers. It it runs with no issue, start a second instance or a second one, then another - as many as the system will handle until it starts showing the problem. Have top running in a term to see if you can find out what taking all the resources. Last time it happened to me, it was Xorg itself causing the issue. Bob - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
