Package: Xorg
Version: 1:7.5+8
Severity: important

When I get in after leaving my machine runnin overnight and clear the
screen saver by moving the mouse the Xorg progress sometimes locks up.
I have a system with two displays attached and it seems that this may be
caused by moving the mouse from one display to the other as the screen
saver is canceling.  The mouse pointer then appears to flicker between the two
displays and will respond slightly to mouse movment; both displays keep
a black background.  I have my screen saver set to blank and use it
mearly as a backup to ensure my terminal is locked if left unattended
for any period of time.  

I have not managed to reproduce this when the screen saver has been
active during the day; so it must require the X session to have been
without keyboard or mouse input for more than an hour.  This seems to be
very reproducable on my system if I move the mouse between displays
first thing in the morning and avoidable if I am careful to leave the
mouse pointer in the middle of either display and only move it slightly
to awake the system.  Waking the system with a keystroke has never
triggered this.  

Top shows that the Xorg process run by root is using 100% CPU in
user space of Cpu0 while all my other cores are idel.  

I can work around this issue by ssh into the box and killing the Xorg
process then awaiting for the system to automatically restart it.  

While the system is in this state it does not let me switch tty using
Ctrl+Aly+F# 

I hope that this provides sufficent infromation to help diagnose the
issue; as I said it seems to be recreateable on my end so if you would
like me to provide further infromation then please let me know.
