Xorg Xserver always freezes at random times in any DE (Xfce, dwm, gnome)

[rodrigoD666]

This is the first report that i had sent to the linux mint team, but i'm thinking this is a Xorg related bug:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version: Linux Mint 15 "olivia" XFCE/64bits

Hi! sorry for my english, because that's not my native language!

That problem always happen but at a random time. First, when i'm working, the mouse suddenly freezes, but keyboard and any other devices keeps working until i try to open a ttyX (Ctrl+Alt+FX) or try to restart the xserver (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace). If i try that, the xserver totally freezes and SysReq keys doesn't work, but SSH login from another computer works.

I set heavy debug level (8) and i had rescued this dmesg out: (i'm going to attach the full output, but i guess that this is the most important part)

Freeze happens in all desktop environments that i have tested, XFCE, GNOME, DWM, i have tried different combinations with login managers like MDM, XDM, SLim but freeze always happens

I have used different video drivers: NVIDIA propietary drivers, NOUVEAU etc, and freeze still happens!

Dmesg shows the same info after freeze:
