Hey people. Has anyone just had X suddenly lock up their box? To
rule out configuration problems, I just ran /etc/X11/X, and watched
my laptop lock up. It was working, and then I installed gdm. Since
then I've reinstalled all the X related packages and it didn't solve
the problem. I'm in the process of reinstalling Debian right now.
Has anyone had this happen?
Yes. I had the same thing happen with my sid installation; I have *no* idea
what happened, but the keyboard and mouse would not respond even though X
would load completely with desktop, and I could still SSH in.
I think there are a number of causes. I have had the problem a few
times and then some upgrade would fix it. gpm is often a problem. I
removed it the last time I had a problem and haven't had one since.
I sometimes just lose the mouse and just quickly switch to a virtual
terminal and back seems to fix that.
