Created attachment 595845 [details] lsof.log Description of problem: The X server stucked on simple volume adjustment via multimedia key on Gnome3: the mouse pointer still moving, but screen updates are stopped (conky, etc). I can switch VT, the host is OK. The Xorg process eats 100% cpu in 'top'. Nothing interesting in dmesg. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.4.4-3.fc17.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.7.0-2.fc17.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.19.0-5.fc17.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.12.2-3.fc17.x86_64 mesa-dri-drivers-8.0.3-1.fc17.x86_64 (Upgraded and rebooted just today.) How reproducible: Hardly. Additional info: It is same bug as "#831267 Xorg stuck at 100%, infinite select() loop". That has been closed as CANTFIX due to the nvidia driver, but this time happened on intel (Ivy Bridge HD4000), no binary blob involved. Seems like it's video driver independent.

I'm using a patched Xorg server for a while and seems like it's fixed the problem. The patch is at http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2011-October/026022.html I did hit this problem about 2 times in a week before the patch but not in the past 2 months. I'm not following xorg-x11-server-Xorg package updates from Fedora from 1.12.2-3.fc17, maybe it's quietly fixed in Fedora too. The patch not merged into mainline (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/os/connection.c#n967), but may be worth to examine by experts. Unfortunately I can't play with this bug to find what setup is OK/not-OK; I need a stable X for my work and now I have it.
Hi all. I was bitten exactly by the same issue yesterday... xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.7.3-5.fc17.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.21.2-1.fc17.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.12.4-2.fc17.x86_64 mesa-dri-drivers-8.0.4-1.fc17.x86_64
Paulo, I'm using f18 without problems for months, seems like it's fixed in 18. Try to upgrade.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17'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 17 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 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.
