Comment 16 for bug 9713

Not fixed by X.org...

I hadn't been using Ubuntu for several months now because of this bug and
decided to give it another whirl with the Hoary preview release.

I was running the software update manager when the exact same thing that's
happened in the past happened again. Hard lock, machine won't respond to anything.

This issue is specific to Ubuntu, and does not occur with any of the following
operating systems:
RedHat Linux 7.3 (32-bit)
RedHat Linux 8.0 (32-bit)
RedHat Linux 9 (32-bit)
RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 WS Update 3 (32-bit)
Fedora Core 3 (32-bit)
Fedora Core 3 (64-bit)
SuSE Linux 9.2 (64-bit)
Novell Linux Desktop 9 (32-bit)
DragonFlyBSD (32-bit)
Solaris 10 (64-bit)
Windows XP SP2 (32-bit)

There is something specific to how Ubuntu is either patching the kernel or the X
server that is causing problems on my system. No other distribution or OS has
this issue.

Is there any way I can get some kind of information or logging going that would
help an Ubuntu developer track down why this is happening?

Is there any further information I can provide to help?
