Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
Fairly frequently, X freezes on me. I'm using Ubuntu 6.10, x86_64
architecture; my video card is:
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV37GL [Quadro FX
330/Quadro NVS280] (rev a2)
I'm using the stock xorg configuration; the "nv" driver is being used.
I don't yet have any consistent way to reproduce it. For what it's
worth, most or all the times this has happened, I've been using XEmacs;
I'm not sure if XEmacs is doing anything weird or not, but it shouldn't
be possible for it to freeze X...
By "freeze", I mean that either it completely stops responding or only
mouse movement occurs Control-Alt-Backspace (or is it -delete? I've
tried both), C-A-F1, etc., don't work. If I ssh into the machine
remotely, I can kill -9 X and things will go back to normal. (Less
drastic kills don't seem to have an effect.) I've never had any
problems with the computer when not using X (I log into it remotely
frequently), and I never had any problems with the computer when I was
using it with Fedora Core 5 for most of a year, so it seems unlikely
that I have hardware problems.
The only bug I found that seemed at all related was Bug 4579, but that
bug reports problems on startup, so I'm opening a different bug. I will
follow that bug's suggestion of using the "vesa" driver, though.
Please let me know if there's any other information I can provide or of
any suggestions you might have.
