I have seen a lot of reports about both Ati and Nvidia cards, etc...
The problem was reported in various distributions, with various kernel versions,
various hardware. Since the crashes are reported on XFree aswell, my personal
guess is that its a long-lurking bug which got carried over to the Xorg source.

This url below contains lots of reports on various systems and guesses. Since
the only common thing in all reports is X (high cpu load, mouse strangely
working, keyboard not) i think its fairly accurate to think the bug is in Xorg.
Aswell, here is a short (incomplete) summary of this all:
- The crash occurs on various hardware
-- CPU: P4 3Ghz, AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1400, AMD Athlon 900Mhz, Athlon XP
1500+, Pentium III 866MHz
-- GFX cards: Radeon 9200, NVidia GeForce2 GTS/Pro, GeForce Ultra 5700
-- M/B: TODO
-- Mem: various sizes

- It occurs on various w/ms like: kde, gnome, ion2, fluxbox

- It occurs on various kernel versions: 2.4.23-ck1 - 2.6.9-rc2 (gentoo patched)

- It occurs on various X versions:
--XFree(TODO: accurate version)
--Xorg up to 6.7.0-rc2
--Xorg up to 6.8.0-rc1 (a strange line is reported on crash)

-Reported with the following applications(usually when heavy mouse activity
occurs), mostly GTK apps: browsers(firefox,konqueror,galleon,Opera), gaim, gkrellm

-Reports in various distributions: debian, mandrake, fedora and gentoo
Sympthoms:

- X CPU usage 100%
- Keyboard is not working
- Mouse is working but nothing is clickable (in some cases mouse is not working
any more)
- Magic SysRq is possible

My story:

CPU: Intel P4 3Ghz
MB: SIS
RAM: 512MB
GFX: ATi Radeon 9200
HDD: 80Gb

The system is brand new. I installed gentoo from stage1 this week(2004.11.03).
CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe"
Im using Xorg 6.7.0-rc2. I usually crash when typeing posts like this in firefox
and (maybe irrelevant crash here) when trying to run scorched3d with HW
mip-mapping(this last one is 100% reproducable crash for me).
