I have to power off the laptop. > Hi, I have the same problem on my laptop (evo n600c, radeon M6 mobility, XFree 4.2.0 from Mandrake 8.2). I "solved" it by disabling dri, and I hope it's a temporary fix. By the way, when X hangs like that, it's still possible for me to remotely connect and kill X. I cannot restart it (there are error messages about the card not resetting or something), and if I don't have network, I can do a ctrl-alt-del to reboot. In all cases X takes 100 % cpu. Hope that helps, Alan PS: is there a difference between the "radeon" driver and the "ati" driver ? I'm using the "radeon" driver.
