It definitely happens in text mode console too. Just one more hint: After typing something on the console, it takes 2 to 5 seconds BEFORE there is disk activity, then there's a reply. It seems like SCHED_4BSD (?) needs some time of its own before deciding to swap the process back in (just guessing here). However, this doesn't explain why the mouse freezes in X while in motion. Perhaps when moving over a window of a long time idle process? Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/Received on Fri Oct 08 2004 - 06:15:38 UTC
