Okay, so here's what happens:
I CTRL-ALT-F1.... log in.... su to root terminal
#gdb attach 2526 (which is the PID of Xorg)
then it goes through a bunch of
"reading symbols...loaded symbols"
Finally, it outputs:
0xaddress in __Select_nocancel () at
../sysdeps/unix.syscall-template.S:82
82 ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S: No such file or
directory.
in ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S
I then type
(gdb) handle SIGPIPE nostop
*output here*
(gdb)cont
Continuing.
I then press CTRL-ALT-F7 and it freezes.
