[gentoo-user] xorg seizes during debugging

[Chris Stankevitz]

Hello,

I got no feedback from eclipse, so I thought I would try here:

I debug a multithreaded program using Eclipse (which uses gdb
underneath).  Somtimes (but usually not) xorgs will seizes for 1-3
secconds during a "step" operation.

When I say xorg "seizes" what I mean is that the display freezes.  My
CPU graph which is always updating at 10Hz stops updating.  However,
the mouse cursor moves.

Can someone suggest a "teach a man to fish" approach I can use to
figure out what is causing this?

Thank you,

Chris
