About once every 10 hours, my desktop partially freezes, if that is the correct term.
The pointer changes as I move it around, but clicks do not have any effect, and focus-follows-mouse doesn't update the focus.
I'm unable to anything.
So I
-
ctrl-alt-F2 to another tty
login in as root
-
ps aux | grep -i xorg
-
kill -9 that id
-
log out of root
-
cltrl-alt-F1 to my user session
-
ctrl-d to logout
-
log back in
-
startx
then it is good to go for a while.
