Hmm... actually Jon did not provide any details in his original report
except for the error message and doesn't seem to have responded at all
since then, so with such generic info we can't troubleshoot this at all.
I'll recast the bug to "Error message causes confusion".
All of the lockup errors people have commented on in this bug MUST be
reported as separate bug reports.
** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Triaged
** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Wishlist
** Summary changed:
- X Lockup in Intrepid (infinite loop)
+ Confusing error message printed when X locks up. Needs clarification.
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-core
+ [Problem]
+ X can lockup for a wide variety of reasons, and often when it does so it
prints an esoteric, confusing error message. This can mislead users into
thinking they have identical bugs, when they don't but are just seeing the same
error message.
- With recent X packages, there is some level Multiple Input support, I
- believe. This seems to cause problems, as sometimes (for no apparent
- reason) X locks up and I see the following in my Xorg.0.log:
