I can occasionally drop to a TTY, but am unable to log in as the system shortly freezes absolutely. Also, I have seen this freezing when suspending/rebooting/powering off. Once again it is stable under failsafe, though of course the graphical performance is seriously diminished. This is an older Toshiba Satellite laptop. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: Perfect function. Other than this issue, the hardware all works excellently in this laptop. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Does it help to save the following as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-composite.conf ?
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
Going to apply this now, and will reboot and pray. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hi Roger, I also use a Laptop with 945GM Intel Graphics Controller and know the freezing problem. It happens in my case only during boot or shutdown ( suspending I did not checked ) at the moment if graphical desktop will started or terminated. I also can switch to TTY, but typing something has no effect. Restart of Xserver is not possible, shortly after try to restart Xserver system is freezing totally.
I read in a bugreport a interesting thing. It was a bugreport about a freezing system. Unfortunately I can't remember the bug description and did not find it again.
Someone wrote, that it happens in his case only after a installation/update of a program. I checked this and it is exactly the same in my case. If I install/update a program of my system, the danger of system freezing at the next shutdown or boot is extremely huge.
Please check it for comparison.
Of course the reason for this I don't know, sorry.
I'll do some tests in this case. See if that is what destabilizes or makes it worse. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
