x11@ I've had issues with the xorg-server 1.5.x updates since they hit the ports tree and kind of assumed it was just me not getting the upgrade worked out right. Up until this point, my fix had been to roll back to 1.4.2. I've tried to move forward again and run into the same issue. I hadn't seen posts on the mailing list describing it so I decided to broaden my search. Especially with most users' issues having been resolved. Well, I found this and it seems spot on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/xorg-server/+bug/296167?comments=all They report having a fix too: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=22373 I am indeed using Xinerama on 3 screens (on 2 nvidia cards using the nvidia driver) and a sure fire way to trigger it is when I'm using synergy and moving to a remote screen. I've applied the patch and rebuilt xorg-server. It seems to have fixed the issue for me. I should keep an eye on it for a few more days, but with synergy I could trigger it on the first transition to a remote screen. A few hours with this patch and it's been solid.
