Hi,

I attached the logs; Xorg.conf is default (untouched).

The problem has now evolved and the same situation happens even without screen blanking.

I just need to let the computer run for a few hours (seemingly random time) for the problem to happen.

The visible symptoms are:
 - no windows are visible; no gnome menus, dockbar -- just an empty background (orange)
 - mouse pointer still moves
 - keyboard dead (ctl-alt-backspace does not work)

SSH'ing to the computer shows Xorg at 100% CPU. This is the moment I took the logs above.

Killing Xorg takes me back to the gdm greeter but Xorg immediately goes back to 100% CPU when I log in again.

thanks,

   Fred
