X in unstable is unstable [hosed] ?

[Adam Majer <adamm@galacticasoftware.com>]

Hi all,

I just wanted to report a nasty problem with X in
unstable. After about 6h of uptime, it starts to reset
the screen. I have to reboot - restarting X does
nothing.

Here's the tail of the X log:

Where the heck is the "SwitchToMode" coming from?
Anyone else have these problems with 4.2.1?

PS. There is also the quake problem with the 4.2.1 in which the 
mouse in quake 3 gets stuck in upper-left corner.

Kernel: 2.4.19 --- same one that works under all previous X
