I had similar lockups when I went to 2.6 as well. (I use Gentoo)<BR>
<BR>
I narrowed it down to Frambuffer Consoles as well as having devfsd.<BR>
<BR>
It would lock up consistently with Framebuffer consoles if I pressed ctrl-alt-f1 and started an emerge there and then went back to X. It also seemed to be more prone to locking up the more times I switched back and forth fro X to a TTY - generally 3 times was max with Framebuffer, and about 5-6 times was max with regular TTY before it locked up.<BR>
<BR>
I disabled devfs and the problem is gone. I even re-enabled Framebuffer.<BR>
<BR>
Anyway - not sure if this relates to what you are describing or not but I thought I would mention it. There is a bug logged at bugs.gentoo.org about it - other people who no not use Openbox.<BR>

I've been having this too for months now. Usually when I'm Alt-tabbing
but not always. Sometimes when I hit some combo in emacs. And yesterday
for the first time I couldn't get alt-ctl-f1 to work. Had to ssh in.
Openbox 3.1, 2.6.2 kernel, but happened with 2.4.20 too. No xmms running.
