Public bug reported:

Xorg locks-up only when i'm using evtouch touchscreen.

when i do double or tripple click on touchscreen Xserver locks-up. i can
ssh into my box, see the logs, etc. but there're no something suspecious
in it. i have enabled debug options in evtouch - all log activity stops
when X is halt.

if i kill Xorg it stops, but display continues to show static image.
if i start Xorg again - it starts as usual.

i mentioned strange dependencies on system load
if i use touchscreen on pure X (only icewm manager is started) there're no lock-ups mentioned. if i start any GTK app (which doesn't consumes much CPU) lock-ups are very rare. but if GTK application starts consuming a lot of processing resources (i.e. starts frequent redraws, etc.) system can lock-up in some taps. but when i use mouse under the same conditions - no lock-ups are detected

this is not HAL-related problem as i do not use it, 
i do enable send core events in evtouch config, so this issue is not goes from this.

I'm using Latest Karmic release with all packages up to date. this bug
wasn't mentioned on 8.10
