Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
I've updated hardy to intrepid and experience sudden X hangs. The logs say
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
[mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping.
repeatingly and dmesg tells me about usb difficulties (repeating "usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address (looping number)" continiously).
The system becomes unresponsive to any keyboard/mouse activity and X is no longer refreshed.
Though, the system is still reachable via network.
I'm not using compiz and have not enabled 3d accelaration. I'm using the radeon driver.

Using gdb to attach Xorg gives me the following backtrace:
