I'm using FC6 on Thinkpad Z60m.
About once a day X seems to hang. The cursor still works but button clicks don't and windows don't receive events. CTRL-ALT-BS doesn't work and CTRL-ALT-DEL (obviously) doesn't work.
However the machine still seems to be working.
I haven't got a crash dump because all I can do is power off :(
Anyone else seen this and any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks Rick
PS I've never had a Unix or Linux m/c behave like this before - but maybe I've just been lucky

The usual trick in this situation is to ssh in, su root, and attach gdb to the X server process to see where it's spinning.
