X randomly crashing, cannot ctrl-alt-bksp

The first crash was a couple of months ago, and I will admit I just ignored it, especially since it didn't crash again for about a month. Then I was starting to think I might have a problem and did a bit of research. I thought turning off compositing might be the solution so I did that and it still crashed about a week later. The crashes were so dispersed that I just forgot about them, but I think I have to do something now.

Recently I installed xdm. The problem is, now when X crashes, xdm tries to get X to run again, and it goes into an endless cycle of crashes. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does not work, Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not bring me into a terminal, and manually powering off is the only way to get out of it. Before I installed xdm; after it crashes I can Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go into a virtual terminal and reboot. (Rebooting seemed to be the only way to get it working. There were no X or xorg processes running after the crash to kill, and I couldn't startx again.)

I also noticed that I'm definately not the only one with this problem, but I can't seem to find a solution anywhere (that works for me):

No, I don't have ndisswrapper. (I have a laptop but I never use wireless so I haven't set it up yet.)

I don't believe this is a hardware problem, because I run Windows on the same computer and have never had this problem on it.

Also I should note that now X is slow to start. Before (a couple of years ago) I could type startx and then I'd immediately be in X, but now the screen turns black and flickers a little before going into X. X has had this problem ever since I returned to Linux.

While it is going to be hard to find an immediate solution to this, does anoyone know how to get the magic sysreq key working in Arch? I have a very good feeling that the magic sysreq key could save me from manually turning off the power, but it doesn't seem to work for some reason. Would I need to compile a custom kernel? (I sure hope not)

I have saved my xorg logs from right after the crash, but I don't see anything funny in them (well I'm not really the person to ask) and they are too big to fit in a post. If they are required I can try to find some way to show them.

Re: X randomly crashing, cannot ctrl-alt-bksp

I have a similar problem, I'm not sure but I think its due to synaptics.  I think is this error: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11798?opened=3181&status[0]=.  Look for this error: evdev.c(EVIOCGBIT): Suspicious buffer size 511, limiting output to 64 bytes in your kernel log.

From my research there is a fix with xf86-input-synaptics, however it's in the testing repository.  I tried installing it by itself, but it's not compatible. I tried upgrading it with xorg-server from testing, but that didn't work either.

If you scroll down to post 546, thats what I'm going to try next: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=439406

Let me know what you think

Re: X randomly crashing, cannot ctrl-alt-bksp

If the crashes occur with INTEL_BATCH turned off, I've found that switching from EXA to XAA fixes them.

Re: X randomly crashing, cannot ctrl-alt-bksp

Thanks for all your help.

I can't find any error with evdev in it, so I'm going to assume I have a different problem.

I added:

Option     "AccelMethod" "XAA"

To my Device section in my xorg.conf just to see what happens. My computer seems to work fine for 5min.

I'll get back to you if I get a crash again.

Though anyone know about the magic sysreq key?

EDIT: Got sysreq key working, followed this guide.

Re: X randomly crashing, cannot ctrl-alt-bksp

Hi

Did that fix you?

I have been having the issue for a while, seems pretty random though I suspect virtual-box and/or wine to be tricker, but I have seen it crash without either, I think.
Anyways, black screen, lose keyboard, cold boot.

Not sure what logs might else be of interest.

Don't feel like downgrading kernel or update to beta drivers if it's not the pit at all.

running nvidia beta (180.16) for a week or so, no crash, happy it seems to be the fix but not impressed at all.
