Package: xorg Version: 1:7.3+18 Severity: important
Since upgrading to Lenny on 2/15, UIs will "freeze" -- that is, keystrokes and mouse clicks will fail to register (neither ctrl-alt-del nor ctrl-alt-bksp will function, either), although the arrow will move when the mouse is moved. Occasionally, the screen will go entirely black and go into "standby" as if no signal is being generated by the video card. This does not happen when the computer is "idling," only when keyboard/mouse is being used and the display changes (like when browsing the internet). Hard reboot brings the computer back up and functioning, until use creates the same condition. I have been able to recreate this problem with some frequency. I have also been able to ssh to this system and tail -f various log files as the problem occurs -- but haven't been able to detect anything in the logs. However, I am able to run top and consistently see that as the problem occurs, Xorg spikes near 100% and stays there. In addition, several hald-addon-storage processes become the next most used processes, taking up about 20% CPU each (this is a dual processor system). These conditions, as reported by top, always accompany the display issues noted above, whether the screen goes black or not. Let me know if you need more info.
