The subject line says it quite well; here are some more details. Several weeks ago I was still running the 3.3.1-2 packages (xbase, xfnt100, xfnt75, xfntbase, xfntpex, xlib6, xlib6g, xlib6g-dev, and xserver-mach64) with the scwm window manager. Once in a (long) while scwm would lock up and I would have to restart X.
Then (several weeks ago) I upgraded to the 3.3.2-3 versions of all the above packages. Very soon I noticed that it took only a matter of minutes and several switches between X and a VT to lock up scwm. What I mean by "lock up" is that the mouse is unable to give any window focus; furthermore, scwm has a very large virtual desktop, and in this locked up state I am able to pan around an area only slightly larger than my monitor screen. Interestingly, though, a program running in X will continue to run, even though I can't control it. Downgrading the xserver-mach64 package to the old 3.3.1-2 version caused the problem to disappear. Now I thought that it might be a scwm bug, since then I have tried the new xserver-mach64 with the wmaker window manager, and the very same thing happens after a few minutes. Sometimes with scwm it is enough to switch out of X and then back _one_ time to make it freeze as described above. I am running the latest from hamm. Kernel is 2.1.98. Just to be sure it wasn't a kernel problem, I booted up on 2.1.32 and started X. It took several hours to lock up the first time, and when I restarted X again, scwm locked up within minutes. I really don't know where to go from here. What can I do to figure out where the problem is so I can use the new xserver-mach64? Has anyone else experienced this difficulty?
