Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: djmills@netspace.net.au QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 SUSE/3.6.12-1.1 Firefox/3.6.12 This is similar to Bug 615649, but that is Intel graphics specific and I have a Radeon Graphics card. Adding "nomodeset" reduces the frequency of lockups and partial freezes, but does not eliminate them. I get at most 1-2 hours of use before the computer freezes. There are 2 types of freezes: immediate hard lockups (power off is the only way to get a response) and incremental freezes. With the hard lockup, the screen doesn't change appearance, it simply fails to respond to anything, even CTRL-ALT-DEL. With the incremental freeze, it would affect a single application at first and gradually spread to all applications/windows. Eventually everything would be frozen. The gradual spread might take 5 mins. After persevering for 2 weeks I re-installed 11.2 and things have been stable since then.
