["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chris Sharp, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. As per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to
your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (P11.A4). If you
update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate
does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Xorg freeze

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Getting random X.org freezes since installing 14.04 on my Acer T3-605.
  When this happens, my keyboard become inoperative except for the
  "Windows" key, which toggles the Unity search bar open or closed (no
  other typing possible).  I can move my mouse cursor, but clicking does
  nothing.  My current workaround is  getting to a TTY and restarting
  lightdm.
