windowserver failure - Vanilla install - Freezing GUI

LTL · February 10, 2008

My GUI freezes up soon after boot. I never even have to turn on any programs, it just happens. I opened up my Console and saw a lot of the following (see attached file for full Console Log):

2/9/08 4:40:46 PM com.apple.WindowServer[119] mach_msg (CGXKickEventHandler) failed (ipc/send) timed out

So I went into /var/logs/ and looked for a panic.log (was not there)

Then went into windowserver.log and saw a lot of the following starting on the 9th which was the day I booted it up and left it running overnight (see attached file for full log):

The errors go on and on.

I am trying to troubleshoot the cause of this...

My thoughts are:

*that its related to the Video Card (8800GT 512) and the drivers that I'm trying to use:

*Could it be a kernel panic? If it were a kernel panic, wouldn't i see a panic.log?

10.5.2 update:

I followed these directions and all is well

http://netkas.org/?p=50

I am running really stable now and worked out the windowserver bug, it was cuz of my vmware and video drivers

Hey LTL,

I have read the quoted post on another thread, would you mind elaborating how did you work around the windowserver thingy? I have this problem after running iMovie for a while...

Having the same issue, even though our hardware is different, as I saw you don't like it when ppl doesn't have their specs here go mine:

Dell Latitude D630

HD 160GB

Video: nVidia Quadro NVS135m

MBR Partition Scheme

A Vanilla 10.5.6 HFS+ partition and a HFS+ boot partition with Chameleon Hard Disk and a custom .mkext on the Extra folder:

Contents of the .mkext:

ACPIBattery.kext

AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext

AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext

ApplePS2Controller.kext

ClamshellDisplay.kext

dsmos.kext

GenericCPUPowerManagement.kext

IntelCPUPMDisabler.kext

LaptopDisplay.kext

NVResolver.kext (nVidia injector from superhai, as NVKush would not recognize my card)

OpenHaltRestart_1.0.3.kext (Tried this kext to try and work around the shutdown issue, which I also do have, with no luck )

SMBIOSResolver.kext

I guess it is as complete as I could do it.

Thanks in advance,
