No idea. I only have a keyboard and mouse (both old Apple equipment) connected
to the G5 via a Studio Display. I'm not running any X11 stuff and don't see any
error messages.

The system is very stable and compiled head as of yesterday (both kernel and world)
without any problem.

Anyone having an idea how to fix the SMP related problem?

Best regards
Michael
