Running 8.3 on a mobility x700 on Debian lenny. If i try to restart X or logout of gdm, everything disappears on my desktop and I'm left with just a wallpaper...and it hangs. This didn't happen until about 8.1 i think, and suffice to say it's a big pain in the ass.
I can usually kill the x server, but when i get to the terminal it says something like "trying to kill xserver" for like 10 seconds, and says it failed. After stopping xdm and removing /tmp/.X0-lock, `ps` still lists the /usr/bin/X process as <defunct> and Xorg hogs 99% cpu when I start another X session.
I'm working on capturing the output of killing X.
Any help or emotional support would be awesome. Has this happened to anyone else?
There are no (EE)'s in my xorg log, except something about the font path.
