Public bug reported:

On my very old laptop, that is equipped with an Ati Mobility Radeon
X700, sometimes (and, sadly, I have to use this word, because I found no
regularity pattern for the occurrence of this bug) randomly the desktop
session locks, that is I can only move the mouse pointer, but I cannot
interact anymore with the desktop session. I am forced to login trough
ssh from another pc and to restart the laptop.

In Xorg.0.log I found these lines that are, in my opinion, related to
the crash:

(EE) [mi] EQ overflowing.  Additional events will be discarded until existing events are processed.
