** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
+ 
+ IMPACT: Under certain circumstances, the X server hangs causing the
+ entire system to be non-responsive (including sysrq)
+ 
+ DEVELOPMENT: Karmic picked up the upstream fix in xserver-xorg-core
+ 2:1.6.3-1ubuntu1
+ 
+ PATCH: Attached at <http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36321173/xorg-
+ server_1.6.0-0ubuntu14.1.debdiff>. Test builds available in my PPA
+ (https://launchpad.net/~broder/+archive/ubuntu-tests)
+ 
+ INSTRUCTIONS: There hasn't been a consistent way to reproduce the bug
+ found, but the hang seems to trigger more frequently under VMWare.
+ 
+ REGRESSION: This is a patch taken directly from upstream. It only
+ affects a handful of lines.

+ Original bug description:
  
  *apport seems broken right now, so let me know if i need to upload
  anything else*
  
  on the xserver in jaunty, i get random hangs where the entire system is
  unresponsive, meaning that i can't escape to a tty, restart the
  computer, or even do a sysreq-REISUB. this has happened twice, both
  times while using my bluetooth mouse, so that might be the cause of it.
  in both logs there's a line that seems important:
  
  [xkb] BOGUS LENGTH in write keyboard desc, expected 5976, got 5992
  
  thanks,
  matt drake
