Same here. 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.

I am interested in how your F7 freezes. I had a freeze yesterday. What
happened I think was all the fast RAM got used and it was using the Swap
partition. I watched my hard drive light and it was on solid. I did
Ctrl-Alt F1 and in about 3 minutes it dropped to a prompt. But I was
unable to log in it so slow.
Does this sound like yours?
