Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.0.14 Severity: important First off, apologies for the lack of detail in this bug report. I simply do not know what's going on nor how to debug it. :-/
After my latest dist-upgrade, which pulled in X.Org 7, the X server has started randomly losing input. When it ends up in this state, no input is accepted whatsoever, all keypresses and mouse button clicks does not appear to be processed at all (even the keyboard LEDs won't change if I hit e.g. Num Lock). The only thing that keeps working is the mouse pointer, which moves normally when I move the mouse. I believe every time the server has entered this state I've been using the mouse for something. It doesn't seem to happen unprovoked - I've never woken up to the server having entered the defunct state during night, for instance, while when actively using the computer it usually happens within a few hours. I don't use the mouse for much, though, so I suspect it might happen more frequently if I used it more. I've experienced the problem both using the "nv" and "nvidia" drivers, and also both when using the "evdev" and "mouse" drivers for my mouse device. There's nothing relevant in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, nor in ~/.xsession-errors. The X server itself is completely unuseable when it occurs, and I have found no way of reviving it. It doesn't seem to be another way out than to change to another VT (after having set the keyboard to raw mode using Alt+SysRq+R), and from there do a full restart of X. I have no idea how to debug this further, so any suggestions on how to get to the bottom of this would be much appreciated.
