I think I hit this bug, too:
- Total display lock (but system still up, I could login via ssh)
- X went crazy and started sucking 99% cpu
- X not killable, even with SIGKILL (wondering how this can happen in
userspace).
- On Linux 2.6.17. It didn't happen to me before with 2.6.8, but then again
my 3d support was disabled then.
There are a pair of differences:
- My Xorg.log ends with a (seemingly) infin loop. It managed to write the
same blurb 58 times. Attached.
- My X worked fine for a few days (and it even displayed trivial opengl
clients like glxgears). It did only crash when attempting to run xmoto.
I'll try the attached patch when I have more time.
HTH.
