xorg "freezes/sticks" under kernel 2.6.38

[Bill Brelsford <wb@k2di.net>]

Since upgrading to kernel 2.6.38, I've been experiencing freezes
in X.  After startup, things are normal for a matter of minutes;
then most keypresses and mouseclicks have no effect until focus
is moved to another window, at which time the screen "catches up."
Once it starts it continues until X is re-started.

Starting X with fvwm's ClickToFocus (rather than SloppyFocus or
FocusFollowsMouse) seems to work longer but eventually fails.
The problem does not occur when running a 2.6.37 kernel.

I'm running sid on an Asus S62E laptop with the following packages:

	xorg                          1:7.6+6
	xserver-xorg                  1:7.6+6
	xserver-xorg-core             2:1.10.1-2
	xserver-xorg-input-evdev      1:2.6.0-2+b1
	xserver-xorg-input-kbd        1:1.6.0-1+b1
	xserver-xorg-input-mouse      1:1.7.0-2+b1
	xserver-xorg-input-synaptics  1.4.0-1+b1
	xserver-xorg-video-intel      2:2.15.0-2

Same results with wheezy and:

	xorg                          1:7.5+8
	xserver-xorg                  1:7.5+8
	xserver-xorg-core             2:1.7.7-13
	xserver-xorg-input-evdev      1:2.3.2-6
	xserver-xorg-input-kbd        1:1.4.0-2
	xserver-xorg-input-mouse      1:1.5.0-2
	xserver-xorg-input-synaptics  1.2.2-2
	xserver-xorg-video-intel      2:2.13.0-6

Starting X and then running fvwm and applications on a remote
(squeeze) machine has the same problem, so it appears to be an
issue with the X server and the 2.6.38 kernel.

Anyone else experiencing this?  Suggestions?

Thanks..  Bill
