Same problem here! I think the priority should be changed to high. There is nothing within the Xorg.log nor in messages.... After the Xorg freeze its impossible to change to TTYx and kill Xorg. I am using a Nvidia Quadro FX 1700 graphic-card. There should also be an init script for GDM. This freezes has occured while using Firefox 3 and/or VMWare Server. Please let me know what additional infos you need to fix this really annoying issue. $ yum list installed | grep nvidia kmod-nvidia.x86_64 173.14.12-3.lvn9 installed kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.11-97.fc9.x86_64.x86_64 ... kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64.x86_64 ... xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.x86_64 173.14.12-1.lvn9 installed xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64 173.14.12-1.lvn9 installed $ uname -va Linux myhost.mydomain.net 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Aug 4 13:46:35 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 3 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 23 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz stepping : 7 cpu MHz : 1999.000 cache size : 6144 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 4 core id : 3 cpu cores : 4 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr sse4_1 lahf_lm bogomips : 5333.30 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82X38/X48 Express DRAM Controller 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82X38/X48 Express Host-Primary PCI Express Bridge 00:06.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82X38/X48 Express Host-Secondary PCI Express Bridge 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) 00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 02) 00:1a.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #6 (rev 02) 00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) PCI Express Port 5 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 92) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801IR (ICH9R) LPC Interface Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801 SATA RAID Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.6 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) Thermal Subsystem (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 1700 (rev a1) 05:06.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Agere Systems FW323 (rev 70) 05:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04) 05:07.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy Game Port (rev 04) 05:07.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Creative Labs SB Audigy FireWire Port (rev 04)

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. A word of warning first -- we are sorry that we cannot help you any problems while using closed-source drivers (especially nvidia and flgrx). If you are not able to reproduce the issue using only open source software, please, go to the other support options provided by the binary-only driver manufactures. If you are able to reproduce the issue using only open source drivers (and you are sure that all debris from binary-only drivers is cleared from your system -- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xorg/3rd_Party_Video_Drivers), please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
