Hi all- So I've just encountered a new issue ( for me ) with Xorg, and i'm having a heck of a time tracking down the source and/or the actual nature of the issue. When i switch to another computer using my KVM, Xorg immediately begins to monopolize the CPU, heading up to 95% utilization. When i switch back to my machine, my USB keyboard works, but by USB mouse is unfunctioning. I have to force quit Xorg and restart to restore peace to the land. Now, this didn't exist on 5.3. I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE, and xorg-6.8.2 and gnome2-2.10.1 from ports. I get no info in the logs either. I've searched the archives on this, but it's difficult to figure out exactly /what/ to search on to match this problem. No love on the xorg list either. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Regards, darren david

(And I waited for hours to see if it would stop.) I bet that it is something that the video card is doing, maybe it is trying probe your CRT to see what kind it is, or something like that. (This is all pure speculation on my part, so I don't know.)
