Hi! I'm not an expert in this by any means, but I'll try giving some pointers in case you haven't explored them already. Have you looked at the `top` output to see what process is consuming CPU or disk resources? Since you say that only X is affected, then ttys should be available on Ctrl-Alt-F2 (3,4,etc) and you can run top there. How complex is your Xmonad config? Have you tried removing most customizations and running the simplest config possible? I doubt that rotated monitor is relevant here, but you can easily check that - just run non-rotated monitor for a while, after the first time it freezes again you will be sure that rotated monitor wasn't the issue.

Hi there,
I'm new to the list and poppin in with a question. But before getting to that, I would like to send out a big "thank you" to the community, that is providing this greatest windowmanager ever! I'm using it since more than 5 years now and never had an issue...
... up to now: My xmonad is freezing again and again and I don't really know how to figure out what causes the issue. It happens when I use programs like musescore or radium. I don't know, maybe because they put heavy load on graphics or something!? Anyway, when it happens, some functionalities of the program stay functional, but changing the screen in xmonad or starting new programms via dmenu is impossible then.
I'm on archlinux and xmonad.errors doesn't show anything, as far as I can see. I'm using xorg and I'm launching it with startx from the command prompt.
In my Xorg.0.log I get the following error:
[ 6588.014] (EE) event6 - LITE-ON Technology USB NetVista Full Width Keyboard.: client bug: event processing lagging behind by 13ms, your system is too slow
The slowest device in my setup is the harddrive. I now it needs replacement soon. Can it be, that X freezes because of a slow harddrive?
I'm also using a rotated monitor. Can it be that the issue is concerned with the portrait view?
Here is my script that I use to do the rotation
xrandr --output VGA-1 --off --output DP-1 --off --output HDMI-1 --off --output DP-2 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x0 --rotate left --output HDMI-2 --off
If someone is having any idea on how to narrow this down, I'd be very thankfull. Even only to figure out whether it is concerned with xmonad or not, would help a lot. I'm suspecting xmonad, because after killing it and restarting X everything works fine again, but I know that by killing xmonad I'm also stopping a whole lot of other processes too...
With kind regards,
Bjroern
