As I said, it is a total freeze, and since logging is done *after* something happens, my logs are just interrupted after the usual startup. > Also, if you can, try to ssh into your laptop from your other machine. > Many times I've found that my "freeze" is really just hardcore CPU > thrashing from X, so I couldn't do anything, but everything else was > still working. In those cases, I could 'killall -9 X' and try again. Didn't try ssh, but if that was the case, a soft halt pressing the power button would work, and it doesn't. > Also, "those cases" were when I was having trouble using the nvidia > driver with the compositor turned on.

I've got a radeon. It doesn't matter what driver I use (ati, radeon, fglrx), and compositor has always been off, since it never worked. Obviously, in my first configurations with 7.0, I just need the server to work, nothing more, so I've got no strange options :) Thanks for your help bardo _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
