Brand new as of may last year. I started seeing this problem some time fairly soon after getting it, when I tried out the experimental 4.3 packages - I switched to an X cvs tree and tracked that until recently, up to 4.3.99.12 or so, after seeing this problem first with the 4.3 packages. I've seen these errors repeatedly, with much the same symptoms. I've found the problem persisting sometimes over a reboot, and the only thing that's been fairly consistent in fixing the problem is reinstalling X. I checked a full list of md5sums for everything in my X install tree when it was working and when it failed, and there were no differences, so it definitely isn't something changing on the disk. I'm currently using the X packages from Sid on a mainly testing box, and I'm still seeing problems. Reinstalling (as in, apt-get --reinstall install) all the packages xlibs depends on seems to fix it. Much though I'd prefer it to be something else, it does look like it might be a problem with the TMTA cpus . . .
