I've got this weird problem that I think is caused by X.
I've been following testing for a while now (so I have gnome, db, and heimdal).
Every so often, and apparently randomly, X will stop taking any input except for mouse movement. But the mouse movement doesn't even trigger the focus follows mouse.
The panel will still update and so will windows, but my input just totally doesn't work.
The only thing that I can do to fix it seems to be sshing in and killing X. I run xfce4 so it might be the gnome/gtk updates that aren't working well with it...
Has anyone heard anything about problems with X or is it just me?
Not just you, i've been experiencing them too. As has someone else on the forums. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=37987 I can't work it out. I had it badly yesterday, repeatedly, and today it's only happened once. Nothing in Xorg log. Yesterday was full xfce4, today was pekwm+xfce-mcs-manager+xfce-panel+xfdesktop. Now i'm just running pekwm to see if it was xfce4 causing it... It's not firefox, I use opera. Jacek in the thread above was also running xfce4, so it's possible it could be that. But... it's difficult to track down, it could be an X issue. It's not an nvidia issue, as i'm running on intel integrated, 855GM (i810 driver). [testing] repo here too. James
