Had X hang on me today. Started oocalc (OpenOffice) and clicked a menu button, instantly X hung, mouse would move jerkily but no screen updates or input handling. ssh in from another comp I see X taking up 100% CPU. Log had this as last (and only odd) thing: Got unexpected buttonTimer in state 0 Running fully patched FC5, nvidia binary 8762, sawfish. I understand this isn't much info to go on, but I thought I'd throw it here anyway. I really abuse X with hundreds of windows on 15 virt ws's. It was up for 4 days before this crash. I don't think I've seen this before. I doubt it's easily reproducible.
Further: C-A-BS did nothing. From ssh doing kill -9 -1 caused the screen to go black. Virtual terminal switching did not function. Command line was ok from ssh but video was completely hosed, nothing but black. Had to issue reboot command.
This just happened again. Exact same thing. I was using oocalc and hit the INSERT menu item. This time I got an strace before reboot. I hope it helps. As far as I could tell the output line is repeated unchanged ad infinitum. Process 3714 attached - interrupt to quit --- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) --- sigreturn() = ?

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Trevor Cordes Do you still experience this issue with newer soft ? Please check the status of your issue.
Sorry for the delay. I have not seen this issue for many years now. I think someone fixed it, either deliberately or accidentally. I'll attempt to close. Thank you
