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

Páll Haraldsson, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-
support/product/precision-t1650/drivers an update to your computer's
buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A18). 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:
  [I reported with ubuntu-bug, seems ok, and provides same info as
  "ubuntu-bug xorg" (as I then chose xorg)?]

  I locked the screen (yes, I have dual screen setup) and when coming
  back seconds/minutes later the pointer was frozen and I could not type
  in a password. Note, I see the password prompt [e.g. not (fully)
  similar to a bug (#1311316]) I've reported previously, that is
  supposed to be fixed, but I get e-mails  saying it isn't..].

  
  Here, at work in 14.04, all details are clear in memory still except for (and see about 15.04 below):

  [From memory I tried and failed to go to a virtual terminal, in case I
  misremember, I think I at least confirmed CAPS LOCK light not
  working.]

  After restart I got a (apport) dialog box about X failed. Note, I
  tried (after opening chrome) to use it to finish using that dialog box
  to send the error but didn't get the web-report I expected (like I'm
  filling out now) or any confirmation, so I used ubuntu-bug manually as
  I wasn't sure you get the info otherwise.

  I wouldn't know for sure that this freeze is because of Xorg and still
  do not know for sure, just seems so based on the auto dialog and
  report as such.


  
  What I can speculate about, if this is a new bug it may even come from vivid/15.04 (what has been backported recently?) as I've gotten a freeze (same or possibly only similar symptoms) at home with it. Note there, I do not have dual screens as it is a laptop. There the computer may have suspended. I do not recall if this only happened there when closing lid/suspend or even without. The screen may have been black can't remember all details at least it was frozen and required a reboot..

  At home I have Intel, here Nvidia Quadro graphics.
