Re: [opensuse] KDE OR X HANGS

Hi Stan,

great to read this!

I just found out, that there is a new driver available for NVIDIA and I will
install it immediately...
I use Nvidia 6600.

It could be a graphics driver problem, but it used to work before... How can
the graphics-instructions - issued by kopete (not directly of course) - bring
down X? How does that work? And also it doesn't happen on a regular basis.

Thanks!

Hello,

I haven't mixed SUSE kde with stock kde...

killing won't work... kill -9 <proc number> doesn't work... in fact it is
impossible to kill any of the X processes...
Yesterday I updated every rpm-package I have installed... Just now It
happend once again. This time it was kopete, which caused the trouble (at
least I think so): I was sending a message over the icqprotocol and
suddenly the the window turned pale and freezed. Then the keyboard got
stuck and I did a ctrl-alt-backspace, since all the other keys got
barred. The ctrl-alt-backspace let the X disappear (but the process was
still running) but after that it didn't restart. Then the usual: changing
runlevels, kill -9 and some other useless stuff. Eventually a reset did
the "trick".. grrrr!

This sounds like a video driver issue. Where the system totally locks up
while doing anything and only a reboot will bring it back. I suggest you
re-evaluate your video card driver, monitor settings and sax2 settings in
general.

For example, if you are using ATI's fglrx driver, go back to the radeon
driver and see if the system is stable.
