Yes. 1) apt-get install xserver-xfree86-dbg 2) ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-debug /etc/X11/X (The debconf server selection dialog doesn't list xserver-xfree86-dbg fore reasons I don't yet understand.) 3) Start your X session. 4) Reproduce the hang. 5) Get to a shell (remote console, VT switch if that works, or ssh). 6) Determine the PID of the running X server. 7) gdb $PID /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-debug (this connects the debugger to the running X server) 8) At the gdb prompt, type "bt full". ...and let us know on this list what you find out. -- G.
