Something similar happened to me in Ubuntu 12.10. I accidentally pressed Super, getting the dashboard, then pressed it again to close it. After this, keyboard and mouse stopped working. All of the apps continued to run just fine - but I couldn't interact with them.
Xorg.log had this line at the end: [ 17877.120] [mi] Increasing EQ size to 512 to prevent dropped events. When I killed compiz, everything started working again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755099 Title: X lockup caused by compiz/unity Status in Unity: Incomplete Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: unity I had mplayer running fine, I hit f to make it fullscreen, the whole desktop froze.

My most likely candidates were mplayer (using vdpau), compiz and chromium (now that it uses the GPU). I started by killing mplayer: no change. X was still frozen and taking all the CPU. The display wasn't even refreshed, still showing mplayer while it was gone. I next killed compiz, it re-spun and went to 100%, letting X at ~ 40%. Desktop was still unusable. Closing the other apps (chromium, evolution, xterms,..) didn't help. X even went back to 100%. I re-killed compiz, and finally, everything went back to normal. So it seems compiz is to blame. It already happened to me twice this week. It never happened before so it may be caused by something in the recent uploads (compiz, unity, ...)
