Created attachment 273697 [details] emerge --info OK, this issue appears difficult to reproduce, but here is what happened: 1. Watched full screen video using www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.3.181.14-r1. According to the postinst message, there is no 64bit version, so it should be using www-plugins/nspluginwrapper-1.3.0 instead. 2. An E-Mail arrived, causing mail-client/thunderbird-3.1.10 to attempt displaying a notification window. Before my last system upgrade, when this happened the video image would freeze for a moment, presumably while compositing was enabled. I guess my compisite manager is kde-base/kwin-4.6.3-r1. 3. This time, however, the screen went black. 4. ESC to leave flash full screen mode didn't work. 5. Remote login via ssh worked. 6. Xorg.0.log contained these two lines after the usual startup stuff: (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (0, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000e32c, 0x0000e32c) (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (0, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000e670, 0x0000e670) The driver behind this is x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-270.41.06. The X server is x11-base/xorg-server-1.9.5 due to bug #364019 comment #9. 7. killall -KILL for flash or firefox failed to restore my screen. 8. remote reboot was the only option I could think of, so that's what I did. I guess this will be a major problem to solve, due to the large number of packages involved, the difficulty in reproducing the issue, and the fact that large parts of the involved code are closed source. So I don't expect miracles. Nevertheless, perhaps this report can be useful if other related reports pour in, so that you can form a coherent image of all the things involved.
Please post the output of `emerge -vpq x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers' too.

I can confirm this using nvidia-drivers-270.41.06 and www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.3.181.14-r1 I can reproduce this quite easily by watching youtube, going to fullscreen and wait for the end of the video. I use kde with kwin. Remotely killing firefox/flash player/kwin does not restor the screen. It seems that Xorg is waiting for something because when restarting kwin, kwin does not succeed in connecting to X (saying so when killing Xorg). I never aim this bug before upgrading to the lastest adobe-flash yesterday.
I believe that this is the same problem that I have been having, but am not certain. I am finding that on occasion (hard to deliberately reproduce, but once per day or so), some interaction with flash in chromium causes X to freeze at 100% CPU, disregarding keyboard input and sometimes allowing the mouse to move but not registering clicks (sometimes, the mouse does not move). Restarting X via ssh is ineffective, as it does not die properly following killall, so I resort to restarts. Reproduction (often causes this problem, not always) - Open a flash video in chromium - Close the tab (Repeat as necessary). My Xorg.0.log contains: [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x38) [0x80a6678] I will rebuild X with USE="debug" and try to get better output.

However, I haven't seen this in quite a while, so let's mark RESOLVED.
Somewhere along the way when something got bumped.
