After the latest xorg updates my 10.0 x86_64 machine started to freeze after an hour or so work. I have tested the memory and other components, and everything looks OK. If I leave the machine in runlevel 3, it does not freeze. Does the machine lock? --tight loop --?

When it "freezes" can you ctl-alt-F1 and get to a console?

When if freezes can you ping it? can you ssh to it?

I can hardly believe that this is an xorg problem... no way. You have a memory or HD issue there... I suspect.

Hardlock - no console, no net, no ssh, nothing. Completely dead. Memory tested for 24 hours with memtest - OK. HDDs tested with their manufacturers diagnostic tools (full test) - OK.

After the problems started, I updated the nvidia driver, no change.

So, did you try to downgrade the xorg packages? You can get the previous versions from the update archives, e.g., from ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/x86_64/update/10.0/rpm/x86_64/ You'll probably need to downgrade xorg-x11-libs and xorg-x11-server. (I can't say it exactly, since I don't have a x86_64 system -- but on my i586 system these were the recent xorg updates.) That should give you an opportunity to verify your hypothesis that your problem is cause by the xorg update.
