No, I always use 1280x1024, my screens are Sony 500PS 21" and Intergraph 19sd95 19".
I managed to reproduse the frozen X today!
In a machine with P4 1.8 GHz, 768 Mb RAM, xorg noveau for GeForce2 MX200. I ran the ordinary 5.4, whith Firefox removed and Opera installed. Other additional apps were xpdf, lynx, and mc. I had installed the updates from the links in this thread; rox_filer-130126-s, jwm-590, jwmconfig2-130125 and gtkdialog-0.8.4-r503M-slacko.
I waited 40 min. to see if it corrected itself, but had to power-off manually in the end.
At the time it froze, I had 4 virtual desktops, with open app.windows in all. I had Opera running in one, Geany and a ROX in one, the PPM and a ROX in one, and 2 ROX-filer windows open in the last. I had a USB HD attached, with one mounted partition. I used two of the open windows to delete a lot of old files from the USB HD, among them 6 or 7 old puppy isos, so I guess I had deleted at least 1.5 Gb, most from the USB HD, when the machine froze. I used the ROX built-in delete function all the time, and the machine froze in the middle of a delete.
I don't know if this was any good info at all, but lack of logs are one downside when running from a live CD.
