This continues under the most recent kernel for Ibex - I'm running
2.6.27-10-generic, fully up to date with all packages in main, universe,
restricted and multiverse. And it's absolutely maddening.
Can someone responsible for tracking these issues at least tag this bug
with some kind of
marking it specifically as a libxinerama issue.

I've been experiencing this bug ever since I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10
from 8.04.
It seems to mostly be triggered by running 3D games after the game
quits, but has randomly happened a couple of times too.
I can get it to trigger in under a minute or so of starting/stopping a
game or other 3D app.
Me too.
CTRL-ALT-BKSPACE is the only way for me to get my gui back. Multiple
driver versions. currently 177.83 from Nvidia, not happening as often,
but still happening.

further testing on my setup shows that the bug triggerability is
dependent on graphics load, since nvidia xrender performance
ispoormultiple firefox sessions, vmware screens, terminal server
screens, all seem to do the trick. Moving the mouse quickly across the

this may be helpful in tracking it down.

2. Move Firefox window to different monitor.
3. Right click on the Firefox entry in the Window List and
Same problem here for me
I get the problem mainly following a long period of inactivity.
Has anyone heard of a fix for this other than going to twinview.
Also I am able to duplicate this bug instantly by using VirtualBox. My
mouse is fine until I focus on the VM. the moment i try and change
Seconded on the importance issue. The only way to resolve the problem
that I've found so far is to CTRL-ALT-DEL and kill my entire session.
Because not all my apps have decent keyboard shortcuts, they can't all
be quit cleanly, resulting in lost work.
Regardless of lost work, it's a major waste
Another me too. For me, at most it happens once a day. Nvidia and Xinerama.
I've switched to twinview as Hops mentioned above (sudo nvidia-settings =
display configuration = configuration = configure = change from xinerama to
twinview)
It seems to work the same as Xinerama except that compiz
Just to make sure everyone is clear. The Twinview option is only viable
to those with 2 or less monitors. Twinview does not functionally support
3 or more monitors, so this is still an issue for anyone that is
required to use xinerama for this reason.

X.org will intermittently stop responding
I have this problem with 2 NVS 285 cards 4 monitors + xinerama. I
have to ctl-alt-backspace to fix it -- about 5-7 times per day. It is
REALLY annoying.
Also, to make this ALWAYS happen, start Applications - Internet -
terminal server client and leave your focus on the computer field.
Whoops, to clarify my previous post...to always make this happen,
Go to Applications - Internet - terminal server client. Click the
right arrow next to Computer select the computer and press ENTER.
You will/should see a ghost menu while your rdp session opens behind it.

After having run into this problem twice within 15 minutes I noticed
exactly what I was doing when it happened, and tried repeating it. In
both cases, I was moving out of a firefox window on my Screen0 to a
window on Screen1.
After a little experimentation, now I can pretty much cause the mouse
I have this problem as well using nvidia 177 + xinerama. I'm trying out
the twinview fix (kdesudo nvidia-settings = display configuration =

This bug has basically chased me off my desktop and back to my laptop.
This thing needs attention, and quick.

X.org will intermittently stop responding to mouse clicks on
A quick observation:
After the session has been running for a little while, dragging a window
from one screen to the other seems to be a precursor to things failing
shortly afterwards.

I have the same issue. The main difference is that I'm using a Matrox
G550 with xinerama instead of nvidia as everyone else here seems to be
using. I've been running into the problem on average about once a day.
Restarting X fixes the problem. I had been running Hardy for 6 months

Try adding this section to your xorg.conf:
Section ServerFlags
Option AutoAddDevices false

This did not completely eliminate the bug, but it reduced it's frequency
by at least half or better. It also fixed some strange keyboard issues I
was experiencing with vmware
I have also noticed that using either rdesktop, or vmware workstation
seems to trigger it. I also installed the frets on fire game, and simply
opening that application and closing it again triggers the bug ever
single time. I don't notice the same cursor changing anomaly that
described before when
As a followup, switching to a TwinView setup only works if Xinerama
stays off completely - If I turn on TwinView on each of the two cards
and turn in Xinerama the problem will still appear.
If I leave Xinerama off - and so end up with two X screens each of which
is spread over two monitors, the
I've struggled with twinview as well before upgrading to 3 monitors. It
will do it's own xinerama type implementation, but I've noticed that the
nvidia-settings does not turn off xinerama in the xorg.conf if it has
already been set. This is usually only a problem if you merge settings
when saving
OK, so my computer has just fallen victim to this as we speak... now
what should I capture and post here?
Remember that I don't have use of a mouse, so explicit instructions(as
I'm new to this) are appreciated...
And oh ya, the sooner the better so I can go ahead and restart ;)

Wish I could edit comments... but I've been noticing that I get this
problem a lot whenever I'm using VLC... maybe this has something to do
with it? Don't know if this is the reason, but it definitely triggers
it some of the time.

I just want to confirm that for me going back to Twinview worked. Mouse

Ibex + Xinerama seems to be common to everyone affected. I updated the
name of the bug to reflect that. Maybe this will trigger someone to take
a look..
