And it died this morning. I did not find anything in the X logs ... unless you count the following notice (normal):

  (II) The server relies on HAL to provide the list of input devices.
       If no devices become available, reconfigure HAL or disable AllowEmptyInput.

The reason I mention it is that I also found a litany of hourly GPF faults in syslog:

 # grep -F "Call Trace" syslog*
 syslog:May 6 09:19:24 jaunty kernel: [ 741.174888] Call Trace:

The first one occurs right after to a message saying: "May 6 04:56:05 jaunty NetworkManager: <info> HAL disappeared"

HAL disappeared? Could these problems all be related to hald aborting, thus removing the input devices?

I am attaching these hourly call traces.
