Those are typical symptoms of a GPU lockup. Does the X server come up again after killing it though? If so, it's unlikely a lockup but could be related to #179647. If not, it's probably a video driver bug and disabling the DRI should work around it. Other than that, you could try if disabling Option "UseFBDev" makes a difference. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
