I have been having trouble with my system. For some reason, I've only |
| 2 |
noticed it recently, but nothing has been updated on the system. |

What happens is that sometimes (amazingly frequently) when I have open |
| 5 |
office running on my right screen and I click "File", the displays will |
| 6 |
freeze. The system is still running, because I can get in from one of |
| 7 |
my terminals. I check and X is consuming 100% of one processor. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I can kill openoffice and ctwm (my window manager) reasily, but I have |
| 10 |
to use -9 option to kill to get X to die. Even after that, though, the |
| 11 |
video and keyboard are still locked. The only way I know of to get them |
| 12 |
back is to restart the system. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
IIRC, it only happens when OOo is on the right screen, but I can start |
| 15 |
oowriter2, put it on the right screen, and click file and it won't |
| 16 |
always lock things up. |

Anyone have any clue as to what is going on here? Is there a way I can |
| 28 |
release the hold on my keyboard and/or display so that I can just get to |
| 29 |
the console so that I can reissue "startx"? |
