Bug Description

Binary package hint: x11vnc

With x11vnc enabled the desktop locks hard on random intervals with no consistent method to reproduce the hard lockup. Power cycle is required, without x11vnc it's stable. Also locks up with any vnc extension IE: vino remote desktop, etc.

Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10

root@desktop1:/home/pantek# dpkg --list | grep vino
ii vino 2.32.0-0ubuntu1.1 VNC server for GNOME
root@desktop1:/home/pantek# dpkg --list | grep vnc
ii libgtk-vnc-1.0-0 0.4.1-3ubuntu2 A VNC viewer widget for GTK+ (runtime libraries)
ii libvncserver0 0.9.7-2 API to write one's own vnc server
ii vnc4server 4.1.1+xorg4.3.0-37ubuntu2 Virtual network computing server software
ii x11vnc 0.9.10-1 VNC server to allow remote access to an existing X session
ii x11vnc-data 0.9.10-1 data files for x11vnc

I expected it to be stable like it is without vnc enabled. Also you do not have to have a connection to the vnc server it locks hard either way connected or not.

Have tested all different available graphics drivers for this card including generic non accelerated, single monitor, tried to compile x11vnc from source and use that, same results hard lockup.
