Are OpenGL apps using direct rendering? What does

( LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo | grep rendering ) 2>&1

say?

Does this also happen with the DRI disabled?


Note that the symptoms of a freeze can be caused by an X server crash
with failure to restore console. If you can still log into the machine
remotely after the apparent freeze, take a look at the X server log file
and maybe also its stdout and stderr output.
