Thank you Florian and Kamaraju, I am impressed by the speed and helpfulness of the Debian-Users mailing list :) As for my system, I am completely up to date (clean install of 4.0r0) and the crash doesn't happen in the tty1 terminals, Only inside KDE/X11. I checked the bell settings in Konsole (settings ---> bell) and it was set to System bell and not visual bell, BUT (the good news) I tried setting the bell settings to 'system notification', 'visual bell', and 'none' and all three of those settings allow me to use konsole with NO CRASHES :D So it seems that the crashes only happen when the bell setting is set to 'system bell', but the funny thing is that I don't actually hear the bell beep, the crash happens first (even though my sound SEEMS to work fine for other things).
So here are the attachments you wanted me to add, if you could help me figure out where to file a bug report and what info to include I would be very grateful :) Thank you both so much Pat 1) lspci | egrep -i 'vga|display|video|graphics 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04) -------------------------------------- 2) awk '/Section "(Device|Module)"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Module" Load "i2c" Load "bitmap" Load "ddc" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "vbe" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller" Driver "i810" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection ------------------------------------------------------ 3) patop:/home/pat# egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log (WW) The directory "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" does not exist.
