Public bug reported: I've been running Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 2 for about 6 days without issue, but today it has become both unresponsive (X was using 100% CPU (confirmed by SSH login) and refusing to switch to virtual terminal or respond to keyboard/mouse input, fixed by "kill -kill"ing X; regular "kill" didn't kill it) and less stable (X crashed a couple hours after the first incident, bringing me back to the login screen).
I have previously used Fedora 16 with this same hardware and it had a similar issue: my system stopped responding to all input (including SSH requests) every few days. The only solution in that case was to hard reboot.
