System freezes sometimes after logging out of x

For some reason when I go out of x the system (at that window) freezes so I cant input anything. I can kill the process from another tty. What is it that makes it so?

What video driver are you using?  Are you using a framebuffer?  What is the last thing you do in X before you exit?

Re: System freezes sometimes after logging out of x

There it came again. Started gxine and everything froze. I could move the mouse as I wanted too, but couldnt control anything with it. The keyboard got no responses whatsoever. Tried ctrl+alt+f2, ctrl+alt+backspace and ctrl+alt+delete. Nothing worked so I had to take out the battery.

I could watch messages pop up in irc and the gkrellm worked as normal. Neither the cpu nor proc had any unusual peaks in gkrellm. The system just wouldnt take any commands.

Video is xf86-video-i810.

I am not sure about framebuffer. I dont think so.
