a couple days ago, i upgraded from the 2.4.6 kernel to the 2.6.4 kernel. figured out a couple problems, and all seemed smooth.
however, twice today -- both initially while using a java IDE -- X has
frozen, leaving whatever was last on the screen displayed up there and
not showing the results of me doing anything to it. i tried going
over to a console, and while it probably was actually doing that, it
didn't show it. ssh'ing in remotely, i could kill X (though it
wouldn't respond to an /etc/init.d/xdm stop), and restart it.
however, unless i then rebooted my entire machine, X would hang again
within another minute or so -- reliably when i tried to switch to a
console, and at that point, i didn't bother trying to start a java
IDE.
could this be related to the 2.6 kernel? if it happens again, i'm
just going to go back to 2.4 until 2.6 is more stable.
thanks,
