Subject: What's the deal McNeil? Bad interactive behavior in X w/ RH's 2.4.18
Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2003 03:48:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030422034821.6a57acc0.mba2000@ioplex.com> (raw)

I'm running Red Hat 7.3 with their stock 2.4.18-3 kernel on an IBM
T30. Once every few hours X locks up for 5-10 seconds while the disk
grinds. If I type in an Xterm the characters are not echoed until the
disk grinding stops. Then they all come out in a bunch and life is back
to normal.

I asked about this on kernelnewbies but the only response was something
regarding some kind of change to the 'elevator code' but they didn't
know of a solution.

I would like very much for this behavior to go away as it is extremely
annoying. If there is a patch please let me know where I can get it.

Thanks,
Mike
