Bug#597379: X freeze same problem here

[Nethanel Elzas <nelzas@gmail.com>]

Hi Ibaidul,

After solving the freeze upon start, I also do get random freezes (well maybe not completely random, it seems playing Nibbles can get me a freeze very fast - one or two levels are enough...).

About Alt+SysRq+r/e/i/s/u/b, I've learned about those keys because of this issue, and you can check how it is configured by running: cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
and you might want to modify it to 1 by: sysctl -w kernel/sysrq=1

n.

Hi Cyril,

xserver-xorg-video-openchrome 1:0.2.904+svn827-1 works for me but even
so X still freezes randomly.

Unfortunately I cannot access this machine across the network but once
the X freeze occurs then none of the special keys work Ctrl+Alt+SysRq
+REISUB, Ctrl+Alt+F1 etc. and the disk seems quite busy. A hard reboot
is required.

Thanks
Ibaidul
