Hi Brian, quacklin; Is quacklin having a similar problem to mine? I can't tell from the above...
Anyway, some more information. Over the weekend, I tried Feisty beta. I had similar "hang up" problems, but much more frequently... I could not get more than one hour of work in before "the system would hang". This was true with both Kubuntu and Ubuntu. Note I was using a fresh install from CD on a brand-new hard drive of a slightly different type than I use for Edgy, in both cases. So, back to Edgy. Next, on Saturday (two days ago) I had a hang-up happen when I was using Gmail inside Firefox with Edgy; I was still able to type in the composition window for quite some time after I stopped being able to actually move windows around, close them, etc. Eventually, I would say after at least one minute, everything froze up. Another thing - when windows become unresponsive in this "hang up" thing, I can usually (maybe always) CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, at which time all windows and menu bars disappear but the screen background image usually (maybe always) stays in place, with a frozen mouse pointer. Sometimes, at that point, I can get a partially operational console window, but as soon as I try to do something like "ps" it loses its communication with anything that matters (though I still get characters echoed back to the screen). On the theory that there's something funny with my Xorg setup, I edited the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to get rid of the incorrect font file paths and the references to the Wacom tablet. This gave me less warnings and errors in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. The remaining ones that seem to perhaps be of concern are: (WW) RADEON(0): Unknown DDCType 5 found (WW) RADEON(0): LCD DDC Info Table found! (WW) RADEON(0): DRI init changed memory map, adjusting ...
