[Bug 532807] [NEW] Lucid X freezes while typing

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I've had this happen twice now in Lucid Alpha 3. While typing X just
freezes and I no longer have any mouse or keyboard input, well sort of.
Even though I have Keyboard preferences set to allow restarting X with
Ctrl + Alt + Backspace that does not work.

OTOH Alt + SysReq + REISUB does work so no hard reset is necessary. I'm
clueless as what to look for in the logs but I did record the exact time
of the freeze, it was easy because the clock stops: Mar, 5 @ 11:12:27 AM
(that's US Central time if it matters).

I'll be glad to attach more info if requested.
