Title:
xorg sometimes freezes up while playing either vlc or youtube
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
i don't watch heaps, but enough that xorg has frozen up on me about 3
times in the last week both in vlc and youtube. This time in
particular it was playing youtube when it froze, the sound played on a
bit further then it stopped too, the mouse was still able to move the
cursor but nothing else, for example usually merely moving the mouse
would shift the border highlight to the newly focused window, but even
that wouldn't happen when it froze up. i logged in via ssh and
invoked ubuntu-bug xorg. then after that i used the ssh session to
kill my window manager, twm, which caused the xorg session to logout.
