Description Malcolm Agnew 2005-06-10 11:23:46 UTC 
Version:           1.8.1 (using KDE 3.4.1 Level "a" , SUSE 9.3 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-20a-default

While looking at new mails with "+", the desktop sometimes freezes permanently --- in the past four days seven times.

This is not just kmail apparently freezing while spamassassin runs --- all applications (keyboard and mouse) are frozen.

If I go to another machine, I can login in with ssh and linux is running normally with no process hogging cpu time.

Neither killing kmail nor kde nor X helps.Even init 3 has no effect.The frozen screen doesn't disappear until I reboot.

This seems to be a hardware problem, maybe a video driver bug.
