Comment 30 for bug 1079440

Okay, here are all the logs I can find that cover the time period of this failure.

Background. After I hooked up the monitor, I started the following perl one-liner:

perl -e'my $x = 0; int $x;while(1){++$x;print"$x\n" unless $x % 1000000}'

This spits out a new million about twice a second. I then started the gnome-system-monitor and positioned the terminal window and the monitor window so that both of them were regularly updating both monitors. The video hung at 8:26 with a count of 2.2 billion. I was doing other things and didn't get back to issue this report until after 11:00. By that time the perl process had run at almost 100% CPU usage for more than 200 minutes and thus many billions more counts. Xorg was moving, but slowly, only 12 minutes total. Compiz was stopped dead at 5 minutes.
