I think Egbert is right. Lockups always occured on mouse moves.
Does the Egbert's email imply that - Option "noaccel" - will be required?
Sofar, using just Options "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy" has worked reasonably
for most cases.
BUt it is not completely stable. Staroffice and playing DVDs (vlc,
mplayer) still cause a crash, but not always a system lock.
