X11 just froze, and /var/log/syslog (dmesg)'s output seems to mean something
Hi, I realized that my computer (this one, Debian Lenny, w. k. 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem) was frozen. I tried escaping from the screensaver, but nothing worked, except launching another tty, and restarting gdm. Here is the interesting output I obtained by looking at /var/log/syslog and dmesg: == [24892.623421] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xbb on isa0060/serio0). [24892.623421] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e03b keycode' to make it known. [24892.691424] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xbb on isa0060/serio0).

That seems to be unrelated with a X freeze. Looks like a keyboard key mapping error but nothing serious. Just review your /var/log/Xorg.0.log. If X crashed there must something there :-?

Nothing more in the rest of the /var/log/Xorg.x.log files? Note that I do not think that X crashed entirely.

Next time it happens, go to a tty and type top to list the processes in use. Sort the table by CPU cycles and/or memory use. The slowness could be caused by a rampant program consuming a lot of resources. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
