I've been dealing with a strange X-locking problem for quite some time. I've been trying to gather information, and I think I've gathered about as much as I can. The problem only occurs when using Xinerama.
SYMPTOM: If I go to certain web pages in firefox or mozilla, and then click on a link, it will cause X to go unresponsive. The x server goes into a loop of:
select(256, [1 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
27 28 29 30 31], NULL, NULL, {103, 371000}) =3D 1 (in [26], left {103,
356000})
read(26, "\220\3\n\0\3\0@\2\5\0@\2\0\6@\0\0\2\0\0008\0008\0\4\0\4"..., 4096)
= 80
read(26, 0x856ecc0, 4096) =3D -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
gettimeofday({1094757921, 253529}, NULL) = 0

27 28 29 30 31], NULL, NULL, {103, 356000}) = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be
restarted)
Firefox or mozilla are just sitting in a poll.
At this point my mouse can move, but no windows accept input. Focus does not change, typing doesn't work, numlock/capslock won't work, ctrl-alt-backspace won't work, etc.
Perhaps we can nail down what firefox/mozilla is repeatedly requesting. What does `xdpyinfo -queryExtensions` say?
