I thought getting latest updates and/or disabling random screen savers may have fixed my X lockups. Been several week since I had one. Anyhow, it happened tonight. Was resizing a "konsole" window in kde when lock occurred. Double arrow curson was constantly on screen and would move with mouse. But mouse clicks and keyboard had no effect. Could not ctrl-alt-bksp to restart X.
Went to win98 box and started vncviewer and it came up running kde ok so OS was ok. Killed X from there and logged in again to kde from linux box and it came up again ok. Saw nothing in /var/log/messages indicating a problem.
Also, see strange slowdowns in mozilla mail while typing this. If text highlighted (copied to clipboard) the first time I cannot type further until I move to another window with the mouse and then back to the mail window.
I don't see these problem when running Xvnc / vncviewer / win98, i.e., when Xorg is not in the picture. Video is nvidia with stock drivers.
Not sure if the slowdown I see after selecting text and the X lockup are related. System is 500mhz ath with 384M. Ran rh7.2 fine before this.
