[Bug 502055] Re: [82845G/GL Brookdale-G] Screen freeze after while of working

 

I have 2 machines each with Ubuntu 9.10, and I have always been able to just move the mouse to restore, so maybe machines later than pentium 4 do not respond in this way. 
Latest on freeze is that it froze last night while viewing photos, so is not specific to whatever I am doing on the workspace, though - just a few minutes ago - I unlocked the window changer on the lower panel as it had somehow slipped to the middle as I relocated a url icon. I successfully relocated the window changer, but then when I tried to move the garbage bin after unlocking it, the screen froze and I had to press the boot up button on the pc to shut down. When it came up again, the top and bottom panels appeared but the screen was all black. Rebooted again and screen was again black but came back on after moving the cursor around a few times. Then unlocked and moved the shut down applet on the top panel - successfully - and then the date/time applet, where it again frose after unlocking and clicking on 'move' (in the drop down menu - right click), and again it froze, but after rebooting, the screen did not go black again, and I was able to complete the relocating operation without a further freeze. 
Sorry for the convoluted detail but figure it is best to give as clear a picture as possible. 
And thanks for all your patience and assistance Alex - I understand that I have to wait now for a developer to take a look at it (hopefully!). Learning a lot through this exercise though, in terms of the process involved in locating package faults and reporting them effectively. I am overall very much enjoying my Linux experience - problems included!
All the best - Terry
