I've raised this rather vaguely a couple of times before, and IIRC no
one else said that they see similar problems. This time I'll try to
be clear and so hopefully attract a more definitive response.
Simply, whenever I try switching to glamo for a while (instead of
fbdev), I find that my phone freezes after a while: the screen and
buttons are unresponsive, and I can't ssh in. My only recourse is to
pull out the battery - which is of course a concern, as I could then
be corrupting the filesystem.
It seems completely random, and not associated with any particular
action. Today, for example, it happened very quickly after booting
up:
- boot up and wait for UI to appear
- click on keyboard icon to bring up the matchbox keyboard
- click on Ctrl, Alt, and X - which should bring up an xterm
- freeze.
On other occasions, that same sequence works find. Some times the
freeze happens after a day or more of use.
I see this in Debian, which is my main distro. I also see it whenever
I decide to try SHR again - and it effectively prevents me from being
able to try SHR for very long. (In Debian, I can just switch back to
fbdev.)
Does anyone else see this?
If not, I'm guessing it could be caused by a specific hardware fault
on my phone - any ideas on how I might investigate that further?
Once in the frozen state, is there anything better/safer to do than
pulling out the battery?
Many thanks!
Neil
