Public bug reported: I kept getting occasional hangs. Usually, the mouse would still move, but I couldn't do anything other than use Magic SysRq. These seemed to happen more after resume from suspend, but I also saw them happen if the computer hadn't been suspended since booting. They probably happened more often when Firefox was open and when using KDE Plasma instead of Xfce. This persisted through several Ubuntu releases, and continued happening in 23.04.
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in the "Device" section, I had the line: Option "TripleBuffer" "1" After I commented that out, the hangs stopped. I did that on 2023-07-14 and now it's 2023-08-30. It has been way more than long enough to see that the hangs stopped. Fixing this problem, to allow me to use this option without the hangs, isn't important to me. I am reporting this to document how removing the option stopped hangs. This is with a GeForce GT 710.
