unreal tournament 2004 demo crashed, and took out X. I SSHed in and killed ut2004-bin with kill -9, but X did not respond to kill, so I tried kill -9 on X. Instead of killing X, this put X into a curious state. ps shows that X is running, but top shows it to have RES = SHR = VIRT = 0 PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 7033 root 25 0 0 0 0 R 98.7 0.0 22:40.70 X ps -ax shows 7033 ? R 22:53 [X] also, it does not "feel" like X is taking 98.7% of the cpu, not the way it "felt" like ut2004-bin was taking 99% of the cpu before I killed it. With ut2004-bin killed, the system is plenty responsive. The system does not respond to the keyboard, but typing "chvt 2" does not work either. chvt hangs, and strace shows that it hangs at this line: open("/dev/tty0", O_RDWR) = 3 ioctl(3, KDGKBTYPE, 0x7fffff86537b) = 0 ioctl(3, VIDIOC_G_COMP or VT_ACTIVATE, 0x2) = 0 ioctl(3, VIDIOC_S_COMP or VT_WAITACTIVE Xorg.0.log shows nothing out of the ordinary. I have reproduced this with kernels gentoo-sources-2.6.14 and gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r3. If I can reproduce it with vanilla-sources , then I will post the bug to kernel.org. I am using xorg 6.8.2-r6 .

Please test the latest development kernel (currently vanilla-sources-2.6.15_rc5)
I have reproduced this bug with vanilla-sources-2.6.15-rc5 . Since it takes a few hours of play to trigger, I'll leave X in its crashed state in case anyone gets some bright ideas about examining it.
Since this occurred with 2.6.15-rc5 , I'm marking the bug resolved:upstream . The new bug is filed with kernel.org at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5762
Perfect, thanks
upstream bug is closed
