Resetting the BIOS/CMOS (by selecting "Load Optimized Defaults") appears to have fixed this issue. 5 hours so far with no hitches (freezes). I can't imagine why any BIOS setting would cause this issue with Ubuntu but I'm optimistic about the problem being fixed.
IIRC this box is 16 months old. The only BIOS options I clearly remember tweaking were the boot order and some enable-virtualization setting. I'll continue testing for a few days and see if I can isolate a single setting that causes the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669535 Title: desktop mysteriously freezes until keyboard or mouse input _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
