Re: My X freezes on cold days - how to get back control
Hi,
When left overnight in dpms state, my Xorg stays in
that state ignoring any key
inputs when I attempt to use the system next day morning. This happens only when the overnight temps
go low enough to trigger some issue. I
can login remotely, but cannot kill Xorg with any of the known signals. I tried using sysrq methods to
get back keyboard/screen
control, but that does not work either. Nothing other than soft or hard reboot works.
Last night, I tried to add a crontab entry to exit Xorg around
1am to see if the console also locks up. It did not. However, this
is just one day of testing. Will try doing this for the next week
before concluding that this works.
