can you *paste* the output of dmidecode and /var/log/Xorg.0.log(.old) with glxinfo installed ?

Comment 2 Palm Pre 2011-12-07 19:39:18 CET
I can't reproduce it. It happens with no particular reason. It's stable and unfortunately slides down. Starting slow and later speed increases.

Maybe it was fixed with recent updates. I'm using the box for about 15 min and it didn't happen yet. I'm gonna attach  /var/log/Xorg.0.log(.old). 

It looks like I can't to do anything on box. Terminal window drops me to bash and I can't  start anything that requires root password.

I honestly have no idea how to investigate/resolve this bug :-(
Comment 9 Pascal Terjan 2012-03-14 12:15:01 CET
It looks more like a x11 driver problem than a gnome one

Is x11-driver-input-synaptics installed?

For some reason I had to install Windows on the same box. Once in a while mouse pointer just disappear. 

It looks like Touch Pad  problem.

There could also have been a kernel issue, fixed in RC4:
Anyway, if you are using wireless networking, have a modern CPU that
you cripple by running in 32-bit mode, and have seen odd FP-related
crashes with (the usual symptoms seem to be flash problems in the
browser or *the mouse in X suddenly moving to a corner* or similar, but
anything goes, really), that might be due to this.
