I never really considered it was the ATI board because Yast always seems
to pick the nVidia board when installing anything. However, you
provoked me into thinking that maybe something in that ATI card was
causing problems. ATI doesn't have a very easy website to find info on,
but I finally ran into this:

737-167: System Hangs While Moving the Mouse Around on the Screen in Linux
This information applies to the following system configurations:
* ATI Proprietary Linux Driver 3.14.1 or earlier
While moving the mouse around on the screen, the system will hang
just when the mouse cursor image is about to change.
This issue is most likely to occur when numerous windows are open
and many things are happening on the screen simultaneously.
To correct this issue, please download and install ATI Proprietary
Linux Driver 3.14.6 or higher.

That seems to be a good definition of the problem I'm seeing. Looking
back, it does seem related to mouse movement.
I've installed the ATI driver and hopefully it will resolve this
problem. I'll let the list know about it if I can go for a reasonable
period without repeats.
Thanks to all who responded.
Jim
