I used 14.04 for many years with this problem, but recently "upgraded" to 16.04.
Since then using multiple monitors causes X to randomly freeze.
After searching similar bugs I found that a "killall -9 compiz" from an SSH login un-freezes it.
However, if the system gets into this state once, it happens more frequently.
I found the problem occurred when using multiple workspaces on multiple monitors, so I stopped using multiple workspaces.
To my surprise, the problem continued to happen.
So, the problem may be related multiple monitors. |
