Random X lockup

Random X lockup

[davide]

I have a problem with X, I have random lockup of X, when happen i can't 
use mouse or keyboard.
Using a SSH remote session I can see that X taking 99.9% cpu.
I have this problem with all version of kernel, linux distributions, 
xorg versions.
Reading some forum, I can conclude:

- The crash occurs on various hardware
-- CPU: P4 3Ghz, AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1400, AMD Athlon 900Mhz, Athlon 
XP 1500+, Pentium III 866MHz
-- GFX cards: Radeon 9200, Radeon 9700, NVidia GeForce2 GTS/Pro, GeForce 
Ultra 5700, Geforce FX 5200
-- M/B: Abit AT7 (VIA KT333), SiS P4S61, (TODO add more mobos)
-- Mem: various sizes

- It occurs on various w/ms like: kde, gnome, ion2, fluxbox

- It occurs on various kernel versions: 2.4.23-ck1 - 2.6.21

- It occurs on various X versions:
--XFree 4.3 - ??
--Xorg up to 7.2

-Reports in various distributions: debian, mandrake, fedora, gentoo, 
ubuntu, opensuse

Sympthoms:

- X CPU usage 100%
- Keyboard is not working
- Mouse is working but nothing is clickable (in some cases mouse is not 
working any more)
- Magic SysRq is possible
- SSHing in from remote server and killing X is possible.

I can't solve this problem since years :-(
please help me!
Thanks

Have you tried building and running a kernel with some (or all) of the
debugging options enabled (you find those in the "kernel hacking"
section of the kernel config)?
Hopefully one or more of those debug options will provide some info in
dmesg to help find the source of the problem.

Are you using any proprietary, closed source, X drivers for those
graphics cards? If yes, then the first thing to try would be to use
one of the open source drivers - for example, use the 'nv' driver for
the nVidia cards instead of the 'nvidia' driver. If your kernel is
tainted by a close source driver nobody here will be able to help you
debug the issue.
If you can't reproduce the issue with an open source driver, then you
should contact your graphics card vendor for help as they are the only
people who will be able to help you with problems involving their
closed driver.

Thanks for answers,

I have radeon 9700, using ati closed drivers, i will try open drivers
I watched all logs and I didn't find any error connected to my problem.

I tried to debug X process using gdb:

Re: Random X lockup

[Davide Nitti]

I will try to compile X in debug mode, so I will have more info while debug.
(how I read in 
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/ServerDebugging)

I have this problem only with a pc in others pc i haven't this problem,
but windows don't crash, so I guess that isn't a bad hardware problem.

I tried only 1 hardware configuration, trying several software configuration
others people have my problem with different hardware configuration

I have read many forums related to the problem
(such as 
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-198023-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-lockups-start-0.html)
I have this problem since years such as many others people in the world 
(reading in internet)
