Bug#364288: Randomly loses input since X11R7 upgrade

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.14
Severity: important

  First off, apologies for the lack of detail in this bug report.  I
 simply do not know what's going on nor how to debug it.  :-/

  After my latest dist-upgrade, which pulled in X.Org 7, the X server
 has started randomly losing input.  When it ends up in this state, no
 input is accepted whatsoever, all keypresses and mouse button clicks
 does not appear to be processed at all (even the keyboard LEDs won't
 change if I hit e.g. Num Lock).  The only thing that keeps working is
 the mouse pointer, which moves normally when I move the mouse.

  I believe every time the server has entered this state I've been using
 the mouse for something.  It doesn't seem to happen unprovoked - I've
 never woken up to the server having entered the defunct state during
 night, for instance, while when actively using the computer it usually
 happens within a few hours.  I don't use the mouse for much, though, so
 I suspect it might happen more frequently if I used it more.

  I've experienced the problem both using the "nv" and "nvidia" drivers,
 and also both when using the "evdev" and "mouse" drivers for my mouse
 device.

  There's nothing relevant in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, nor in
 ~/.xsession-errors.  The X server itself is completely unuseable when
 it occurs, and I have found no way of reviving it.  It doesn't seem to
 be another way out than to change to another VT (after having set the
 keyboard to raw mode using Alt+SysRq+R), and from there do a full
 restart of X.

  I have no idea how to debug this further, so any suggestions on how to
 get to the bottom of this would be much appreciated.

Kind regards
Tore Anderson
