All,
I have a new ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501VW that came with Windows 10.
I have installed Leap 42.1 from iso DVD.
Touchpad does not work under Linux, as documented on several web sources. I am using a USB wireless mouse in its place successfully.
My problem is that the system freezes at least once a day with somewhere between two and six hours of use per day.
Has anyone got 42.1 or other SuSe version running without freeze-up on this laptop?
If yes, how did you overcome freeze-ups?
Freeze is almost always kernel related, so trying newer kernel from Kernel:stable would be the first step. It may help with touchpad too.
I have no freezes on my Asus (quite similar to yours, same Nvidia, plus intel, but with 4G and normal display of 1920 x 1080) and, because current kernel does not recognize the touchpad, tried 4.3 and 4.4 kernel.
I was not able to make them boot to GUI, only to konsole, probably because of the installed nvidia-drivers (via suse-prime).
I was not able to install suse-prime successfully with those newer kernels....

I haven't tried a new kernel yet.
New data point is that Gnome desktop ran okay for two days. I rebooted back to Plasma 5 and KDE 4x desktops and the freezes are back.
Any desktop wisdom in this case?
Thanks, Allen
Have look at Systemsettings - Display and Monitor - Compositor. When set to Xrender, wife's laptop freezes on and off, when set to OpenGL3.1 these freezes don't happen. BTW. No NVIDIA or AMD involved, but Intel HD4000

I have tried several settings in System Settings - Display and Monitor - Compositor now. The system was by default in OpenGL2.0. I changed it to OpenGL3.1. System still froze.
I unchecked another box in that menu about tearing and vsync while leaving OpenGL3.1. That lead to 6 hours before the next freeze. It did bugger up some window title bars to do this, but not fatal problem.
I will keep trying other settings in that menu to see if anything makes it better yet. It appears KDE display settings for this very high resolution (intrinsically touch-screen) display is the problem area.
I wonder if KDE is working on this issue for this newest hardware.
Thanks, Allen
I have now tried all Compositor choices, including diabling it. None was better than the first one I tried, and none lasted more than six hours before freezing up. If there are no other KDE settings I should try, then it says KDE is dead for this laptop. Thanks for the good feedback I got, Allen
