It is very similar to bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615649. I was originally getting 2 types of freezes: * one, a complete freeze, where the computer still had my windows visible, but the mouse pointer would not move, nor would the computer respond to any key strokes. The only way forward was to power down. * the other where one by one, applications stopped responding. The mouse pointer still moved, it was usually possible to change desktops, but it was not possible to open new windows. Some windows would continue to respond for a long time (minutes) such as terminal windows. Most others would not. It was possible using CTRL-SHIFT-F1 etc to swap to the standard consoles and log in. But attempts to shut down were unsuccessful. You might get the shutdown message, but then no further response. Eventually the only way forward was to power down. Using "nomodeset" at boot time seemed to prevent the first of these 2 - the complete freeze. Given that bug 615649 talked about the Intel video driver being part of the culprit, I installed the ATI proprietary driver. But this did not prevent the freezes (but it did improve video performance enormously). As is the system is essentially unusable. I have reverted to my 11.2 installation (I have it on a separately bootable partition). This is the system I have been using for almost a year. Prior to that a Dell Inspiron notebook running 11.1. A little about my computer. It is a Dell Studio XPS with an i7 920 core CPU, 8GB Ram, twin 640 GB (mirrored using Dells SATA Bios) WD disks, a Radeon HD4550 graphics card, internal Bluetooth and IEEE 1394, a DVD+-RW, Gigabit network card, 82801 Sound card and a CX 23885 TV card. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
