[Bug 517276] Re: [G84] X freezes after pressing ENTER

 

While X freezes I can't switch to vt1, so I'm sending two directories
with the files, one before the freeze, and one after the freeze but also
after the X reset. Both of them are while I'm on gdm.

Also, when switching to vt1 before the freeze, I'm not seeing the
expected console output, but only random characters and colors, like if
the 0xB800 segment is filled with random data (it might be the gdm
wallpaper). So I had to make a shell script with the dmesg, top etc
commands and logon/run it blindly.

I tried removing "quiet splash" from grub.cfg, and also removing my
xorg.conf, so that nv is used instead of nvidia, but I only noticed a
minor change in the random characters / colors pattern - vt1 was still
unusable before the freeze.

While switching back to gdm (and before the freeze), I could see two
small dots blinking on the top of my screen, which I suppose would be
the cursor.

After X freezes and I reset it, everything is back to normal: the
console is ok, no blinking dots in gdm etc.

Thank you for your time!
