Kernel 3.2.20-1 and NVIDIA drivers 295.59-1 exhibits the problem. Not always a total failure now sometimes a freeze. Logins via SSH continue to work so it is not a Linux freeze just an X freeze.
I note that after a freeze I get masses of processes like: 25271 tty58 Ss+ 0:00 /usr/bin/Xorg :58 -br -verbose -novtswitch -auth /var/run/gdm3/auth-for-Debian-gdm-8SFmTB/database -nolisten tcp with the : number incrementing from 0 upto many hundreds: 28123 ? R 0:00 /usr/bin/Xorg :264 -br -verbose -novtswitch -auth /var/run/gdm3/auth-for-Debian-gdm-9uZgdR/database -nolisten tcp Given there are people out there not seeing this, I am beginning to wonder if the problem is a hardware fault with the graphics card rather than the kernel/driver/X combination. I shall get a new graphics card installed on 2012-07-01 and report in. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
