** Description changed: Binary package hint: compiz Since the last version, compiz randomly freezes X (only mouse cursor is alive). System remains operational (I was watching a movie once when that happened - I could hear it going on), but you can't even switch to console. This happens randomly, but very often when something 3D is happening. When I turn off desktop effects, there is no such freeze, even when playing 3D games for a long time. Hardware: GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1), driver: nvidia-glx-new (Ubuntu package) How to recover without hard reset: Press Alt+SysReq+R to get the keyboard working again CTRL+ALT+F1 to switch to console pkill -9 compiz.real will cause your X Server to restart. All open apps will be killed, unsaved data will be lost! + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31/P35/P31 Express DRAM Controller [8086:29c0] (rev 02) + Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Unknown device [1458:5000] + 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT [10de:0402] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) + Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Unknown device [1458:3452]
