I can't figure out just what package is causing this problem. I noticed it first when i got branden's 4.1.0-pre5 X packages and installed them. every once and a while the screen would just freeze. if I Ctrl-Alt-F1 to a console and then return to the F7 (X) terminal it is back to normal. After a few times of this (with the pre5 packages) X would hard freeze the computer. After having that happen about twice I just forced the removal of all the 4.1.0 packages i could find from dpkg -l | grep 4.1.0-pre5 and reinstalled 4.0.3 from the unstable repository. that worked wonderfully.
no i have the same problem with the unstable 4.1.0 debs! it has not hard frozen on me. but it seems that the times when i have to switch to console become more frequent as time goes on. and then the display just showed a bunch of horizontal lines. (pinkish brown) and i could get to my console, but that was also cursed by lines (blue). So i wrote this email. What can I do, and what package can i send a bug report on? Thanks, David P.S.
