[hardy] xserver freezes regularly

[Kai Schroeder]

On hardy, my X server regularly freezes. At that point I can still move the mouse cursor but the computer does not respond to any keyboard or mouse inputs anymore. Logging into that machine from another computer via ssh is possible. Xorg uses 100% cpu. Xorg0.log contains a lot of these messages:

tossed event which came in late
mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping.

I use the proprietary nvidia driver. As this happens several times per day I can give further info on request. I can continue using the computer if I do "killall -9 Xorg" in the ssh session.

Ihave found two suggestions:
1) disable dri
2) use Option "NvAGP" "0"

both do not work

i have not experienced any freezes since i have disabled compiz

This looks like the Bug #175744 which is filed against compiz.

[Kai Schroeder (kai-schroeder)]

I agree. As the problem is discussed in detail elsewhere I set this one to invalid for xorg as the issue is so closely related to compiz.
