Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.2-3
Severity: normal
I regularly have problems with X crashing hard, locking up the entire
display. When this occurs, the moue pointer still reposnds, but all
other input is ignored, animated screen elements freeze, and mousing to
alternate desktops becomes impossible. The only way to restore fucntion
has been to either reboot the machine with the Magic SysRq shortcuts, or
to log in from a remote machine and kill -9 the X server.
The crash only occurs with OpenOffice, and most commonly happens when I
have opened a document attached to an email. OpenOffice will start fine,
but clicking (or using keyboard shortcuts) to access any of the dropdown
menus on the application menu bar will trigger the crash. I estimate
that happens in excess of 75% of the time, though I have not yet been
able to reproduce it entirely to order. Its difficult to reproduce
immediately after a reboot or restart of X, but appears to manifest more
readily after the X server has been running for a while.
The machine is using an onboard Intel graphics card:-
