Having a cursor moving but buttons not responding is usually a bad sign for X' state. :) > The sysreq functionality is still working. I've attached a log file > of the problem.

The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.". > Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 That means 2.6.32-5 at best, could you try with 2.6.32-9 (from sid) and 2.6.33* (from experimental) and see whether one of those helps? I'm not sure this particular issue is fixed in latest kernels, but I guess it would be nice to be sure about what happens with current kernels. Mraw, KiBi.
