Either way, so far so stable. But, this newer kernel plays a little nicer than the 12.2 stock kernel.
Yeah, I set it to force fallback mode. Still froze though.
"Still": meaning even with 70-composite.conf enabled?
Does it happen only in Factory (what this list is for), only in 12.2 (what you filed the bug against), or in both?
There seems to be a fair amount of overlap between the underpinnings of Gnome and XFCE. Have you considered trying XFCE to see if it helps? LXDE? KDE? Other DEs? Live media, both openSUSE and other? Memtest? Maybe your hardware has developed a problem.
I've had 12.2, 3.4.11-2.16 & xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.12.3-1.25.7.i586 booted running FF 17 on 945GM since I first saw your thread starter, with no signs of any problems. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation)

Felix Miata *** http://fm.no-ip.com/ I'm running stock 12.2 on this, and have gone through considerable effort according to the limits of my knowledge to debug this. Numerous similar reports have been filed against this hardware and driver combination, with only one being identical... which (go figure) I lost the URL to. I have tried 3 kernels so far (all installed parallel) 3.4, 3.6, 3.7. 3.6 was supposed to have introduced pertinent bug fixes, with 3.7 said to have some regressions. 3.7 has been the best behaved so far.
Yes, it still froze even after disabling compositing as you suggested. I came here with the bug rather than elsewhere (I had gone to forums, over a week of googling, and IRC looking for answers) because there simply hasn't been any response to the bug report. Seeing as this problem is present even with the newer kernel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
