Hi,
I bought a PC late last year and installed RH7.3 on it. I recently
upgraded to 8.0 because of a range of extremely nasty issues. Most seem
to revolve around some hardware conflict and X11. I regularly take
photos with a digital camera and use Gimp to process them. Under 7.3 I
would frequently get a complete system lock-up (i.e cant even ping the
machine from another, no interaction with mouse or keyboard), the only
thing I can do is to reboot. I would also get random log-outs for no
apparent reason.
After upgrading to 8.0 this got worse. After a lock-up, I would get the
same screen back after a reboot as was showing when I got the lock-up.
Again, this seems to be related to use of the Gimp.
I have run lspci (below) -
[00]-+-00.0 Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 650 Host

+-02.7 Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS7012 PCI Audio
Accelerator

I'm keen to get any clues on hoe to diagnose the problem and work toward
some form of resolution. All ideas appreciated.
