From time to time since several months now, I noticed freezes on my TW: suddenly system went unresponsive and I can't input anything by the keyboard.
All the apps loaded keep working regularly but I can't input any command by the keyboard.
Only mouse navigation through the windows is functional.
I red some reports on the Web that this is a common occurrence for Intel i915 video cards which I'm using here on my Leonovo Z470, then I tried to modify the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-intel.conf by changing former AccellMethod parameter from *sna* to *uxa*, without any beneficial effects:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-intel.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" #Option "DRI" "3" #Option "TearFree" "true" EndSection ... Give it a try to "HUP agetty" to avoid the more drastic system reboot. For a raw solution you can always add *nomodeset* to kernel to ignore the Intel driver, but of course it will make you loose the graphical enhancements.
Nomodeset is for troubleshooting, not actual GUI operation. Nomodeset causes fallback to the horrible last resort FBDEV or VESA xf86 drivers. Try the "other" FOSS driver. If your i915 is not too old or too new, it will automatically be used simply by removing xf86-video-intel, though I suppose you could make it explicit in xorg.conf.d/10-generic.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Default" Driver "modesetting" # (modeset, as shows in Xorg.0.log?) EndSection All my openSUSE installations on i915 systems that are new enough (965G maybe, G31 no, G41 yes) have xf86-video-intel uninstalled.
