Bug Description
This bug is hardly reproduceable. When turning on my system it normally freezes one or more times in the first few minutes. That means, that X11 doesn't respond anymore. The last thing working is the mouse. I can't switch to any text-console or do anything. Without another computer I would have to use the reset button. But most times I can connect to that system via ssh. There you can notice Xorg uses 100% of the CPU. Xorg.0.log says:

When I kill Xorg everything works fine, again. Interresting is that this only occurs in the first 15 or 20 minutes of the uptime. After this time the system works stable.
I can confirm that. On my parents computer with nvidia-glx the desktop freezes, but the mouse are still running. Its in gnome and xfce. Xorg use 100% of CPU. Nothing (ctrl+alt+backspace or delete, switch to console) help. Only reset- or power button help. When I kill Xorg via ssh, the screen on the computer are colored stripes and goes not to the console. i must gdm restart, then i can login. I change the driver to "nv". my parents want work without any freezes...
