How does the system respond if you do not install X? If your system freezes, we know it is not X related. OTOH, if the system does not freeze, we know it is X related.
Further, did you look at the logfiles in the /var/log/ directory? Any signs of problems?
I couldn't interpret /var/log/messages or Xorg.0.log. /var/log/messages - or, rather, saw no messages at the time of the freezes that seemed to refer to anything but internet stuff. [snip]
Goodbye 9.2,
Does this mean you give up and do not wish to investigate?
No. It means that I thought that, over the last few weeks, I had exhausted all the possibilities - trying to understand the log files, installing Gkrell, intensive googling, installing with different options and updates, trying out all suggestions given to me and to others, running diagnostic programs on the hardware... . But tonight people on the list have given me new ideas to try out and I will. Thanks! Barbara
