stracing X after freeze
This is from ssh'ing into the frozen box and attaching strace to X. I see
ioctl(11, 0x6458, 0) =
Then I walked over, wiggled the mouse a bit, and pressed two keys. The strace shows that apparently those events were still received, and it didn't get stuck in a tight infinite loop or something like this. Thus I think that by and large the server still worked.
However, it should be noted that I tried to press "q" to quit the mutt I was working on when the freeze started. Going back to the ssh session mutt was still running, so I don't think that the "q" keypress actually made it all the way through to mutt. So maybe it's not just a screen freeze, but a little harder than that.
