Mitchell,
Exactly the same problem on the same setup. I came home this afternoon
to find X frozen and only a remote reboot would bring it back. X has
worked perfectly in the past, the only change I can think of was an
`apt-get upgrade` last night. The packages (dated yesterday in
/var/cache/apt/archives) were:
xfce4_4.2.0.xfld-7_all.deb
libecal6_1.0.4-0.1_i386.deb
libedataserver3_1.0.4-0.1_i386.deb
dialog_1.0-20050306-1_i386.deb
libsensors3_1%3a2.9.0-15_i386.deb
libstartup-notification0_0.8-2_i386.deb
gtk2-engines-xfce_2.3.0cvs20050306-1_i386.deb
xfce4-battery-plugin_0.2.0.xfld-3_i386.deb
xfce4_4.2.0.xfld-6_all.deb
xfld-desktop_4.2.0.xfld-6_all.deb
xfce4-systemload-plugin_0%3a0.3.5-3_i386.deb
xfce4-netload-plugin_0.2.4-2_i386.deb
xfce4-clipman-plugin_1%3a0.4.1-2_i386.deb
libpango1.0-0_1.8.1-1_i386.deb
libpango1.0-common_1.8.1-1_i386.deb
libpango1.0-dev_1.8.1-1_i386.deb
mozilla-firefox_1.0.1-2_i386.deb
libgcc1_1%3a3.4.3-11_i386.deb
I'm not sure of a way to diagnose this as my X log is free of errors.
Have you had any luck?
Regards,
James
