Package: linux-image-2.6.29-1-686
Version: 2.6.29-3
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

I've been using the curent version (2.6.28) for weeks, on my Dell Latitude D530, 
suspending every night and getting uptimes of 45 days (until I rebooted 
voluntarily) using it as a regular desktop machine, with very few glitches 
(maybe some applications leaking a bit, no showstoppers).

With 2.6.29 however, the system only stays up for a few hours, then kind of 
hangs for no apparent reason, IIRC all times involving watching videos, e.g. 
with Xine.  At some point the mouse can be moved but clicks don't work, the 
keyboard is unresponsive (except for [some?] Alt-SysRq combinations), and when 
playing music, the music continues for a few seconds and then the sound stops 
too.

Closing the lid doesn't help, the system won't go to sleep and the screen 
contiues switched on while the lid is closed.

My guess is that something related with video drivers is causing this (or video 
memory management, or something introduced in .29).  I switched back to .28, 
maintaining all the versions of X.org and the rest of the system, only disabled 
screen effects in KDE4 as a cautionary measure, and I've been working without 
any problem since yesterday.

I haven't tested thoroughly with OpenGL applications and the like, and I can't 
make many tests to try to isolate the problem because this is my only 
workstation/desktop machine at the moment, so I need it to work and communicate.

Thanks, closing the bug, then.
