HI,
I don't know, what happens is tha the X server gets killed, the open X
application flush and you see high load. For a while you continue to
see high load, but no real activity like in the top pasted below.
Isn't the problem however in X / the video card driver?
The card is an intel 915.

Hi,
I can rlogin into the laptop. The kernel works, interestingly, it is
a bit
bogged down. Top shows no process consuming cpu, but load is high.
After a bit
it setteld, I can even type this email.
pressing 't' I think shows kernel threads.. there might be one looping?
