From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.0.04506) Description of problem: System upgraded from Fedora 7 to Fedora 8 would hang hard in gnome. If user did not log in and elected to shift to console by <CTRL-ALT-F1> would be able to use system without problem. Switching back to gnome and lgging in would eventually end with a hang. Time to hang was variable. Could not relate to any specific action or loading. Sometimes mouse cursor would move but no other response could be summoned from systems. Sometimes even reset would not work. Held off upgrading second machine until Fedora 9. Completed that upgrade and problem repeated itself on that machine yesterday. Both machines are 1 ghz AMD cpus (read old). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Come get my machine 2.Log in to gnome 3.Wait - it'll happen eventually. Actual Results: machine hangs - sometimes completely - sometimes you can get the mouse cursor to move. Expected Results: I should be enjoying Linux? ;-) Additional info:
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
Created attachment 312202 [details] X log file one of the requested files
Created attachment 312203 [details] the requested conf file I rm'ed the conf file and tried again. After a while using X the system hung again. This is one of two old machines I have Linux on. The problem started with version 8 on the other machine and I just avoided using X. So I have two machines one with 8 and the one I originally complained about on 9 with the same or at least similar issues.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
