I have these random freezes on my laptop and since I do not have another m/c to access it, I am completely hosed :-( The mouse & keyboard do not respond. I wanted to use compiz but then the system would freeze more often. I believe the problem is strongly related to the graphics driver. I have a ATI M300 => radeon300 driver. During the recent freezes, the only application that could have caused an issue was Thunderbird's notification mechanism (which brings up a popup) This behavior is definitely not acceptable. But what frustrates me the most is the absence of any logs!!!! (Arghhh!!) Any hope of logging a bug so that developers could fix the issue is lost. Does any one know how I could capture these error messages? What are the parameters to generate logs for the graphics drivers? thanks, Rogue
I updated to the latest 2.6.22 kernel and my machine still freezes on me. So now I'm using the "nv" driver. I'll see if it still freezes. DS
