Hi all Having the same (I think) issue with my dell inspiron 15 7537 running mint 17 KDE x64 In my case though it only started happening when I installed WINE. Without WINE the system works fine with every nvidia driver i have tested. It seems to be the open source opencl packages. If I have the nvidia packages installed issue does not happen but with open source opencl packages freeze comes back... Basically I have to choose between nvidia drivers or WINE (since wine wont install without open source opencl and wont let me switch to nvidia ones....) I have not tried using mouse instead of trackpad as I dont have a mouse to try lol so dont know if system will run fine or not with trackpad disabled. Hope this helps!

Once in a while, my screen will freeze, only when I use my touchpad. This does not happen with my USB mouse. This does not happen either when I uninstall nvidia-prime and use my intel integrated graphics (HD3000). I can temporarily solve the issue by doing a VT switch. In the attached Xorg.0.log, you can see "synaptics: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: touchpad found" each time I did a VT switch and regained control.
