Xorg 6.9.0 freezes on AMD64 system with nvidia 6200 GPU

Thu Mar 2 06:57:36 PST 2006

R:
If you're able to ssh into the machine, then its not "locked up".
Which apps are you referring to when you say "graphical apps"?

Can you kill the graphical app or kill the Xorg server itself?
Since the usage is 92% and not 99%,, I suspect you can.

The next step is to grab the Xorg pid with gdb,dbx,etc and get a stack 
trace.
