           Summary: X server at 100% cpu
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.7.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: linuxownz at rogers.com


symptoms: 
  X server will reach 100% cpu.  
  mouse input will continue to work, however no mouse pointer animations
  keyboard does not work (num lock does not toggle)
  usually not able to get to a tty.  if I can the screen is very very dim as if
vid card settings are corrupt.  if I max the monitor settings I can barely see
the tty.  no commands from this tty will fix it and requires a reboot to correct. 

logging in from other machine ...
  I have tried to go from runlevel 3 (current when happens) to 5 and back to 3
to try and reset but no good.

ctrl+alt+backspace does NOT kill the x server.


I leave my machine on 24/7 and this happens once every three weeks.  
I don't see a pattern in what I do that triggers this.

Is there anything I can do next time this happens that will provide you with
more info?

HTH
