Hi,

if I switch between more than one X session my Arch Linux is freezing
earlier or later. I saw this before on the same system with Debian
Jessie (Testing). Before Jessie the same system runs fine with Debian
Wheezy where changing between X sessions where no problem, so I thought
it has something to do with the new kernel and the proprietary nvidia
driver, but i am not sure.

After freeze the X server can not be killed with ctrl + alt + backspace
and the Num Lock LED does not respond anymore. Yep its really ugly, only
cold start helps in this situation. I need to test ssh because music
plays onward.

[dennis at rore ~]$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF114 [GeForce GTX
560 Ti] (rev a1)

Will not upset anyone by pasting my complete Xlog into this mail so here
is a link for it:
