Comment 43 for bug 259808

This is the same problem .. try turning Xinerama off.

One thing I have noticed, I DO get the lockups still on occasion, however they only last for 20 seconds and only affect ONE screen.

Subject: [Bug 259808] Re: X Lockup in Intrepid (infinite loop)

It appears I am having the same problem (or a variation). Xorg doesn't
lockup but I become unable to click with the mouse. I am able to use the
keyboard as well as move the mouse (useless if I can't click). I can
start some programs but other programs never start complaining about
RANDR missing. Restarting the xserver works but simply changing to tty1
and back doesn't solve the problem. I haven't worked out if something I
do triggers the problem or if it happens randomly.

I'm running Intrepid with gnome (upgraded) with xinerama using 2 nvidia
cards.

One thing I did notice is that when I move the mouse it sometimes
changes to the icon for text input but this doesn't correspond to what
is actually on the screen. I also noticed that if I start totem the
mouse disappears when I move it across an area on the first monitor
where totem is playing on the third.
