I have the same problem and posted questions here and, while I had lots
of suggestions, there was no solutions found. I'm on a PII, 64 MB ram,
icewm, trident xorg driver.
For me, the box totally freezes; can't even ssh into it. Since I
changed window managers, vesa from trident, no window manager (just
rxvt), with no effect, I'm assuming that its an Xorg bug.
My plan is to wait until Lenny settles down a bit and upgrade and see if
the problem is solved.
Doug.
