Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
IMPACT: Under certain circumstances, the X server hangs causing the entire system to be non-responsive (including sysrq)
DEVELOPMENT: Karmic picked up the upstream fix in xserver-xorg-core 2:1.6.3-1ubuntu1
PATCH: Attached at <http://
INSTRUCTIONS: There hasn't been a consistent way to reproduce the bug found, but the hang seems to trigger more frequently under VMWare.
REGRESSION: This is a patch taken directly from upstream. It only affects a handful of lines.

Original bug description:
*apport seems broken right now, so let me know if i need to upload anything else*
on the xserver in jaunty, i get random hangs where the entire system is unresponsive, meaning that i can't escape to a tty, restart the computer, or even do a sysreq-REISUB. this has happened twice, both times while using my bluetooth mouse, so that might be the cause of it. in both logs there's a line that seems important:
[xkb] BOGUS LENGTH in write keyboard desc, expected 5976, got 5992
thanks,
matt drake
