Don't know much what to do about it, so just shooting information in the dark. The computer is a notebook HP Compaq 6710s, with xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log attached.

Maybe related to bug 327941 and bug 377421, but not sure, whether I should call them duplicates.

The last line of dmesg: npviewer.bin[32720]: segfault at b6f47044 ip 005e47a0 sp bff6161c error 4 in libpthread-2.8.so[5dd000+15000] I found this on the ubuntu forums: "[...] when this happens EVERYTHING locks up. I can't get to the terminal through any means. ALT+PRINTSCREEN+R+E+I+S+U+B doesn't work. Niether does ALT+PRINTSCREEN+O (to shutdown) for that matter (I inevitably have to hit the power switch). Of course, CTTL-ALT-BACKSPACE doesn't work either.I entirely freeze up when this happens (mouse curser frozen, too, of course)." http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=647961&page=3 Could that be it?
So I have similar behaviour. I upgraded from F8 to F9 last night using the DVD/anaconda method. Since then I have had random 'crashes' if you will where the system is still playing music, still updating the screen, but I am unable to do anything. Mouse and keyboard are effectively frozen. After this happening a few times I tried ssh, and got in. No process was spiking, not high load, nothing. Ran init 3 and init 5, it logged me out and brought me to gdm again to login, but no response from mouse or keyboard. Back to init 3 via ssh, still no keyboard. I did notice that npviewer.bin was running, which seems related based on the message above, but how that killed both keyboard and mouse is beyond me. there are no error messages in dmesg, Xorg.0.log or messages. I've since removed flash-plugin from Adobe. In case it matters I'm on an Intel Quad Core running the x86_64 version of Fedora 9.
oh one more thing... I wasn't watching a flash video or anything like that, so I don't know why it was in the processlist

Hasn't happened for some time. Closing as RAWHIDE.
