I upgraded my AMD64 etch system yesterday (2006 Dec 13) and the freezes seem to have stopped. If this situation persists for a week I'll consider the bug I originally posted fixed and report it so.
I can't say whether the other problems some people have written in about are fixed, though. Perhaps this is a good time for them to upgrade and report success or failure. For the record, aptitude reports I now have installed xserver-xorg-core 2:1.1.1-11 xserver-xorg-input-all 1:7.1.0-7 xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:1.1.2-6 xserver-xorg-input-kbd 1:1.1.0-4 xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1:1.1.0-3 xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 0.14.6-1 * xserver-xorg-input-wacom 0.7.4.1-5 * xserver-xorg-video-dummy 1:0.2.0-3 * xserver-xorg-video-flxdev 1:0.3.0-3 xserver-xorg-video-nv 1:1.2.0-3 * xserver-xorg-video-vesa 1:1.2.1-3 * xserver-xorg-video-vga 1:4.1.0-3 * and I'm using kernel linux-image-2.6.18-3-amd64 * I'm not actually using these as far as I know. The video driver I'm using is the framebuffer driver, in an attempt several months ago to get the minimum possible complexity (hoping for the freezes to stop). It's probably time to go back to nv, or even the proprietary nvidia drivers.... -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
