[Launchpad Bug Tracker <675127@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have had a problem for over a year that the system freezes from  time
to time. This has appeared in the three last distributions (9.10, 10.4,
10.10). I have all the time suspected problems with the graphics driver,
but not been able to trace the exact reason.  "Freeze" means that there
is no reaction to the mouse or keyboard, and I have to shut it down by
pressing the power button. Lately it has started to freeze after logging
in from the graphics window within 30 seconds.

Today I traced the problem to Firefox: After I renamed my .kde the
system became stable. Typically I have not close down Firefox before
logging out, and kde automatically started up Firefox as soon as I
logged in.

Now the system is stable if I do not start up Firefox.  When I start up
Firefox it freezes.
