X hangs system on log out Hello
Within the last week I have noticed that whenever I log-out from kde or gnome, or run 'shutdown -r (or -h) now' or even try the kill X by using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace the screen goes blank and the whole system appears to hang. The trouble is that my Dell Inspiron is in effect a desktop replacement and I don't log-out or rebooted for long periods so what ever I did to make this happened might have been done some time ago. System Details (or rather what I think is relavent) - Dell Inspiron 2650 P4, 32MB GeForce2 Go Kernel 2.6.3 Debian (testing/unstable), xserver-xfree86 v4.3.0-7 xserver-common v4.3.0-7 nvidia-glx v1.0.5336-6 (probably earlier when problem started) nvidia-kernel-common v1.0.5336-1 (probably earlier when problem started) nvidia-kernel-source v1.0.5336-6 (probably earlier when problem started) Story so far - As far as I can tell the problem started as a result of a standard: apt-get -u upgrade (Debian testing) which installed an upgraded version of nvidia-kernel-common & nvidia-kernel-source. I think, I made the new nvidia module and installed it but did not reboot. Later when I noticed the problem I upgraded all the nvidia & xserver bits to unstable in an attempt to solve the problem but this did not work. It would be great if some knowledgeable person could point me in the right direction to sort this out Any useful pointers gratefully received.
