I was running a current kernel from about 3 months ago reasonably happily, and decided to upgrade to current yesterday.
Unfortunately after upgrading I noticed X would freeze within a minute or two; I tried downgrading to 3.8 but that didn't work, failing during make installworld leaving the system unusable... So I installed 4.0.1 fresh from the website today, and my usual packages. Again X is freezing after a minute or two; however the kernel continues to run fine as I can log in via SSH. I've attached my dmesg and Xorg.log. Some things that might be causing it: a) The new USB subsystem. I have a USB mouse and a old PS2 keyboard/mouse combo; there is only a keyboard physically attached via the PS2 interface. I'm using /dev/sysmouse as my mouse device for X; it works fine in the console. b) I am pretty sure it's picking up KMS and DRI / graphics acceleration for the first time. I have an AMD Radeon HD 6310 on-board GPU. This GPU has only been moderately well supported historically (unsure if the issue was the kernel or X) e.g. once I go into X I cannot return to a text console - the screen goes blank but I can then return to X with Ctrl-Alt-F9. This continues to be true with Dragonfly 4.0. Any ideas / advice? I'd like to not be stuck on 3.8 forever. Neil.
