Under Windows those work, so it is not a general OOO > bug. This is a bug in the X server, not NetBSD. I think it has something to do with buggy signal handling (gee, haven't seen that one before in the X server ...) in the "smart" scheduler; I've seen the same [hideous] workaround over and over while looking through various linux distributions' Xorg server patch sets. Attached is the patch for modular-xorg-server-1.3.0.0nb6; apply it while you're in x11/modular-xorg-server. You may be able to tell in advance if this works by starting the X server with the -dumbSched option and seeing if the problem recurs--but I'm not 100% positive about that. Regrettably, I could not find the actual patch, and I can't take the time now, but I think this is it. Regards, --Blair
