Hello,
Well, this not an OpenSuse-specific problem, for example I also had it in Arch (see Arch Linux Forums / Desperate about X freezes with intel card. Help). With OpenSuse the frequency of these freezes decreased compared to Arch, but today I had four! (and I do not know what made today different…). My card is
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
After such freezes, I have to shut the computer down with the hardware, because Alt+SysRq+REISUB does nothing. X’s log does not give any clue (because it is a freeze, not a crash), and the computer looks to continue working (so I am pretty sure it is an X’s freeze and not a kernel one).
I am using OpenSuse 11.2, no xorg.conf, and KDE 4.3.4 with desktop effects (I do not want to disable them :\ ). I have also Firefox often running (I do not know whether this can influence).
I tried adding the X repository of OpenSuse and upgrading, but then the X server did not start >:( , so I removed the repository and made zypper dup to downgrade.
Any ideas? Thank you very much in advance
