I have a similar Xorg lockout requiring hard reboot. It happens about once a day. Symptoms: * processing: system first slows to a crawl * keyboard: auto-repeat function usually stops working first * keyboard: eventually locks up entirely * mouse: often locks up as well * sound: sometimes get a continuous beep or alarm-like wail * kde: applications refuse to close normally * kde: receive "not responding" prompt box * kde: forced termination sometimes has no effect * kde: if applications do terminate, wallpaper is blank -- no icons * command-line shutdown: * : sometimes it is possible to enter a shutdown command * : shutdown issues "system shutdown message", then hangs I've created a bash file that uses ps to dump system status every 3 seconds. Would output from that be helpful? Are there better diagnostic tools available? If so, what are they? Is this a known bug? I'm told that my 10.2 system is no longer supported. But before I upgrade, I want to know whether I will get the same problem in 11.0. If the problem has not been previously identified and solved in 10.2, then it seems to me that there is a good chance that it persists into 11.0, so I am once again attempting to inform the community. My two previous attempts are: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2009-01/msg04811.html -- 30 Jan 2009 http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2008-12/msg01873.html -- 23 Dec 2008 --- On Thu, 2/5/09, Philip Burness <pburness@btopenworld.com> wrote:

On reboot, I seem to have lost my desktop icons (Firefox etc. only one left is Wastebin.
I did get this message on startup....

I'm running SuSE 11.0
Any suggestions anybody?
Thanks Phil
