Re: Xorg Freezes, only root..
Hi All:
Christopher, many thanks for all your recomendations: problem solved,
Basically i had a lot of self compiled packages such KDE and many
others, the problem was the major libc6 family upgrade, conflicts
with my old packages and new libs, etc, ... Erasing the ancient
packages and runing the dpkg --reconfigure, upgrading with DEB's kde
and Qt--- etc. was the solution, donwloading the nvidia newest driver
and comiling it,
nvidia driver was not the problem, neither the xorg conf, just
checking the conflicts
between libs and packages installed vs. new one's.
Indeed my xwindows systems is perfect, now i have some interesting
problems related to the same issue, for example, i can't use xmms,
because causes SIGSEGV, my mplayer compilation fails: SIGSEGV. Maybe
some libs are missing or out-of-date
Well... as moral:
If you made a major dist-upgrade, ONLY use the .DEB from the site,
apt will give all the stuff... :)
-I will need to recompile a lot of software... better than patch and
symlinks the courrent
Regards, and again thanks

How did you determine it's the Nvidia driver? IE, what error makes you
think this?

Since you've said 'common user' I assume you've tried with a freshly
set-up user? IE, one with no .xsession or .xinitrc

Do you have ssh or telnet servers enabled on the machine? If so, when
it 'freezes' can you log into it remotely and assess the situation?

I'm not going to lecture on the dangers of X as root--I'm sure you'll
get that from others.

Just as a note--until etch is released, I'd consider adding a line:
deb http://secure-testing.debian.net/debian-secure-testing \
etch/security-updates main contrib non-free

good to stay up-to-date and to help test new packages (the two reasons I
can think to use testing/unstable)

Is that all that's in te X logs? What does ~/.xsession-errors contain?
Have you tried moving your .xsession and .xinitrc out of the way and
trying with fresh (IE blank) files? What about /var/log/X.org.log --
any lines in there with either a WW or an EE (grep would be helpful)?
