[Original Report]
I've updated hardy to intrepid and experience sudden X hangs. The logs say
 [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
 [mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping.
repeatingly and dmesg tells me about usb difficulties (repeating "usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address (looping number)" continiously).

The system becomes unresponsive to any keyboard/mouse activity and X is no longer refreshed.
Though, the system is still reachable via network.

I'm not using compiz and have not enabled 3d accelaration. I'm using the radeon driver.
