Are you running GDB from a console on the same machine as X? The lockup is not surprising then; something has probably happened to make GDB stop while X has grabbed the display with the VT_* ioctls, so you can't switch back. I always run GDB from an ssh session from another machine to avoid this. The alarm just means that X has a recurring timer. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
