Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
Since the upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty, X will hang randomly. It has happened in Firefox (while scrolling a webpage with the touchpad), OpenOffice (moving mouse and clicking an icon), and Eclipse several times while interacting with UI elements using the mouse pointer. When X hangs, the mouse moves but no UI elements respond. I am not able to switch virtual terminals, and CTRL-ALT-BKSP and CTRL-ALT-DEL do not respond, but CTRL-ALT-PRTSC-S-U-B is able to restart the machine. On the most recent hang, I found that I was able to SSH into the machine. The Xorg.log indicated a likely infinite loop, with the following backtrace: [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. Backtrace: 0: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x813518b] 1: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(mieqEnqueue+0x2d9) [0x8114c89] 2: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(xf86PostButtonEvent+0x105) [0x80d8405] 3: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so [0xa6ac1729] 4: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so [0xa6ac3bf9] 5: /usr/X11R6/bin/X [0x80c7da7] 6: /usr/X11R6/bin/X [0x80b82cc] 7: [0xb8016400] 8: /usr/lib/libdrm.so.2(drmCommandNone+0x32) [0xb7924ee2] 9: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so [0xb78bb68f] 10: /usr/X11R6/bin/X [0x817d1cb] 11: /usr/X11R6/bin/X [0x8145f88] 12: /usr/X11R6/bin/X [0x80f8b98] 13: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(BlockHandler+0x58) [0x80911c8] 14: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(WaitForSomething+0x124) [0x8132974] 15: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(Dispatch+0x7e) [0x808d2be] 16: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(main+0x3bd) [0x80722ed] 17: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe5) [0xb7be2775] 18: /usr/X11R6/bin/X [0x80717a1] [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. [...repeats a few dozen times...] [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. [mi] mieqEnqueue: more than six valuator events; dropping. [...these two repeat in alternation until the machine is rebooted...] I suspect the synaptics driver, since each hang involves interacting with UI elements using the mouse, immediately before the crash. I honestly can't say whether all these crashes happened while using the *touchpad* as opposed to a USB mouse, but the most recent one was the touchpad, and it's entirely possible that all the hangs I've experienced were during touchpad use. Lots of information should be attached via the ubuntu-bug tool -- please let me know if there's anything else I can add.
