I was just working with FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE with opera and abiword on fluxbox, and everything was just fine.
Then, without doing anything (no pkg add/delete, no updates, any modification to config files), fluxbox stopped working correctly: menu appears on right-click, then I can't select any option in it. Opera started to become unresponsive, so I tried to close X and run it as another blank user, and the problem was still the same. I've tried to reboot, removing and reinstalling the package, to compile the port, but Fluxbox just can't function anymore.
So, I've tried to change WM, with poor results: LWM just displays a red arrow upon a black screen; openbox just freezes without any sense (it had always worked before!), and gnome, which I've installed as a last chance, freezes after few seconds.
So, I've tried to look in dmesg to see if there was any error from the radeon driver, but it seems to still work. I've tried to look if hald was working, but it was up and doesn't seem to be affected by anything.
Any ideas? Do I have to reinstall the system? It just have no sense, I can't understand how could this happen.
PS: excuse me for my bad English.
