Hello~
Was tinkering around with my system last night, and was having a few issues. It appears X stops accepting keystrokes and mouse input at some point, and I am still able to ctrl+alt+backspace. Now I suspect a couple of things.
Recently I've enabled twinview on my computer, and also installed flash10.0 and OSS.
I was wondering if there was a possible conflict or a known issue?
I'm running the latest kernel, fluxbox, and at the time I had xmms and youtube open as well. Also running 64bit.
Ta.

I have similar symptoms, though this could also be releated to my window manager.
randomly this happens:
somehow after changing to another window, I can't change windows anymore. Not with clicking and not with ALT+TAB. I can still type in the active window and use other shortkeys (ALT+T opens a terminal for me i.e). After I press ALT+TAB once, all keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore, too.
In the active window I can still type and use the keyboard (but don't use the mouse) and when I close the window, another one is activated and I can also use the keyboard in that one.
I end up closing all the windows one by one and then restart X with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.
I couldn't find a way to produce this, yet. To me it is still randomly. I also haven't found any messages related to this.
I am also running the latest stuff, also fluxbox and I have 2 monitors running for quite some time now. I suspect it has something to do with the new X server, because they did something with the input management and this is also about the time when these things occur.
EDIT: I am running the normal 686 build.
EDIT:
It might or might not have something to do with resizing console windows (urxvt in my case), because it appears to me, that this is happening more often when I do things like this. It is possibly that this only annoys me more, because then I mostly do serious work..

I think I've figured this out....
try commenting out
Section "ServerFlags"
# Option "Xinerama" "1"
Option "RandR" "on"
Option "Xinerama" "0"
EndSectionor just disabling Xinerama in nvidia-settings.
Will see how things run now....
It was bugging me for awhile I was getting a message that couldn't find extension randr everytime I started a program. well this resolves that, anyway.

I had that same randr problem.
I try turning Xinerama off right now, but this is only a temporary workaround (if it works).
After all, I turned Xineram on to be able to move windows across monitors, which is not possible with Xinerame turned off.

It works for me, you just need to enable twinview. in nvidia-settings.

Well, last time I remember trying TwinView, my Windows maximized to both screens. It seems that TwinView became better, because now it works like I want: I can move windows to other monitors, but they are only maximized to the current monitor.
So I disabled Xinerama in the ServerFlags, removed the Second Screen from the ServerLayout and set
Option "TwinView" "0" and an
Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1280x1024 +0+0, DFP nvidia-auto-select +1280+0"
in the First Screen (Section).
This is actually a solution I could work with. Thank you for the tip.
