My Arch box is giving me fits at the moment. Every now and then, for
no reason I can discern, Xorg just locks up. This started only after I
added a second monitor, so I'm fairly certain that the issue has to do
with Xorg config and dual monitor issues.
The observed symptoms are always the same, my "main" monitor goes
black, and no keyboard input is processed, so I can't even get out of
X. I have to telnet in, kill all my hung log-in and X, and can usually
recover that way.
It seems to be intimately related to a certain subset of applications
being on the main monitor: firefox and canopy being the two big offenders.
I can find no useful log information as to what is causing this..
My desktop environment is a tad 'customized:' Xfce4 with xmonad as the
WM. Everything is fired up off of KDM (why KDM? -- 'cause I had KDE
installed before I fell in love with xmonad)
Any help/insight/troubleshooting suggestions are appreciated!!
So, here's my box's critical stats:
