Hi,
It took a while but I finally managed to reproduce it. Wasn't opening
any pdf files this time so it doesn't seem to be related to that. Had
just finished playing a video file, I closed the window, went to find
deluge (bittorrent client) and noticed it had no window. When I clicked
the taskbar icon to bring it into focus everything started freezing
again. All this with the nv free driver.
Sorry I forgot to save the log file.
greets,
Wim
