Ok, so X is innocent. ( the sunffb driver seems to trigger some kernel
problem sometimes - everything would either freeze or slow down REALLY
badly so it might be mistaken for a freeze, but CPU load would be 100%
kernel time and the trap count would skyrocket. But since you're using
machfb it wouldn't affect you anyway )

have fun
Michael
