Package: xorg Version: 1:7.0.22 Severity: important You'll have to advise me on what package this bug really belongs against: I'm not familiar enough with the X internals to be sure.
Routinely, when anything even slightly demanding of screen updates happens, X stops responding to the keyboard. For one example, if I use mencoder to re-encode a video and change the frame rate (in an xterm), the terminal scrolls very fast (one line every other frame of the video processed). When this happens, X becomes totally unresponsive. I can move the mouse pointer, but clicks and keyboard events are totally ignored. Even internal stuff like the icewm clock don't update AT ALL, for (in one case) 30 minutes, until mencoder finally exits. I can produce the same effect by playing video, using any of avifile-player, totem, or the non-free Flash player. After a few seconds to a couple of minutes of playing, X stops responding to keyboard and mouse-click events. When the video ends or the scrolling stops, there can be up to a three minute delay before the system responds to keyboard events. Then all of the clicks and button-presses I've made happen in rapid sequence, so they're clearly being queued, just ignored. Earlier X versions (XFree86) that I've used did not do this. In my opinion, lockups like that are unacceptable--particularly in an environment (like Linux or the BSDs) that prides itself on stability. I'd be glad to send any further information that will help with diagnosis and fixing of this problem.
