Lucid/10.04. Also seeing this issue. When System/Prefs/Appearance/Visual Effects set to anything other than None, system fails within an hour or so: - Mouse delayed/slow response; system otherwise unresponsive. - Xorg gets wedged and goes to 100% CPU. - Xorg log contains "EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop." - kern.log contains "Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason a1 on CPU 0"
Backtrace & whatnot on request. Recovery: SSH in and reboot, or do the alt-PrtSc-R,E,I,S,U,B shuffle. T60, X1400, Lucid 10.04 with all patches up to date, 2.6.32-27-generic, vanilla /etc/default/grub. Desktop extended onto an external monitor using xrandr. Workaround: set System/Prefs/Appearance/Visual Effects to None... with this setting system is rock-solid (but boring). Thanks for any help/ideas/suggestions.
