Hi all,
I seem to have a trouble with the X Window System. Both on sarge (where
the X server is XFree86) and on etch (where I use X.org), the graphics
system just hangs from time to time. When it does so, the interface
becomes completely unresponsive, and the keyboard appears to stop
functioning as well (i.e. if I press Caps Lock, nothing happens;
naturally, I can't kill X by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Bksp, too). Nevertheless,
the mouse pointer still moves. The system itself also appears to be OK,
because when I press the Power button, it does some cleanup work and
shuts down normally (the graphics stay on the screen until the last
moment, though the mouse stops functioning soon after I press Power).
1) What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say when X hangs? You can check it when
you boot into the machine the next time.
2) When you do startx, are there any errors reported in /var/log/Xorg.0log?
3) Can you access the machine remotely (say through ssh) when X hangs?
4) Does this problem occur only when you run X? ie If you disable X
completely and run the machine does it still hang?
