X server problems:
A couple of problems which I definitely see with my X server:
1) Control key gets 'stuck' down.
If I use <Ctrl-Alt-F1> to switch out of X into VC 1, and then use simply
<Alt-F7> to switch back in, the server then behaves as if the ctrl key is
held down. This can be cleared easily enough by explicitly typing
ctrl-something.
2) Mouse gets occasionally seized by gpm
Symptom is that the mouse will freeze after a switch between console and X
mode. I am pretty sure the interaction is with gpm since /etc/init.d/gpm
stop fixes it.
3) Occasionally, the system will switch to the X VC for no reason. This
often seems to happen on the first console message since xconsole was
launched. This will often be accompanied by symptoms of X 'latching on' to
the VC which was running when it happened.
