Description Karol Krizka 2005-08-04 08:56:38 UTC
Kde 3.4.2 "freezes" input from time to time. I mean that I can move the mouse 
and I see the smiley face toy bouncing around the screen and growing hair, but 
if I try to click a window nothing happenes. Even if I try the touchpad on the 
laptop, it freezes. I have encountered somthing like this once with X, but 
then turning RenderAccel off did the trick, so it's off now. Also I am not 
sure what leads to the freezes, might be pressing buttons right after each 
othe or heavy work? I am running xorg-x11 6.8.99.15 (I need the latest for mt 
lx700 keyboard) 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.heavy work/too many buttons at once 
2.??? 
3.Profit! 
 
Actual Results:  
kde refuses to get any input, but I can still se it do work. 

Expected Results:  
kde should work as normaly

Comment 1 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-05 02:33:14 UTC
This definitely looks like an X problem, but could even be a kernel/bios issue  
or even hardware problem... it's really difficult to tell. 
 
Does the keyboard stop working too? 
Does it happen in window managers outside kde? 
What video drivers do you use? Have you tried something different? 
Is it consistently reproducible? 
Comment 2 Karol Krizka 2005-08-05 08:53:32 UTC
Everything stops working, even the keyboard, but mouse moves. I don't think it 
happens outside of the, I might be wrong though. Because the only other WM that 
I used is twm and that was only for a few minutes at a time to setup my 
keyboard. The driveres are nvidia (propertiay). THe problem might be  with the 
patch that I used for my keyboard?? It was made by one of you gentoo devs to 
map keys over keycode 255. When I was using the laptop at work without the usb 
keyboard attached I couldn't get the bug. Also when I came home in the evening 
I didn't notice it. I'll let you know if it come on again. 
Comment 3 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-08 18:23:41 UTC
If you're using a special patch from outside the tree and that's causing the
crashes we can't support that, regardless of who made it.  In your case it might
be impossible to confirm that the freeze happens without the patch, but you may
be able to find others with the same problem by Googling the problem.

I'm going to mark this invalid until there's evidence that it's a Gentoo
problem.  Please re-open this bug if you come across such evidence :)
