Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg
IMPACT: Under certain circumstances, the X server hangs causing the
entire system to be non-responsive (including sysrq)
DEVELOPMENT: Karmic picked up the upstream fix in xserver-xorg-core
2:1.6.3-1ubuntu1
PATCH: Attached at <http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36321173/xorg-
server_1.6.0-0ubuntu14.1.debdiff>. Test builds available in my PPA
(https://launchpad.net/~broder/+archive/ubuntu-tests)
INSTRUCTIONS: There hasn't been a consistent way to reproduce the bug
found, but the hang seems to trigger more frequently under VMWare.
REGRESSION: This is a patch taken directly from upstream. It only
affects a handful of lines.

Original bug description:
*apport seems broken right now, so let me know if i need to upload
anything else*
on the xserver in jaunty, i get random hangs where the entire system
is unresponsive, meaning that i can't escape to a tty, restart the
computer, or even do a sysreq-REISUB. this has happened twice, both
times while using my bluetooth mouse, so that might be the cause of
it. in both logs there's a line that seems important:
[xkb] BOGUS LENGTH in write keyboard desc, expected 5976, got 5992
thanks,
matt drake
