Hi Haaber,
I used to have similar freezing problems with 4.0 on my Dell laptop.
I found that it was due to an upgrade to the intel-i915 driver in X.
Replacing the new version with an older version cured it for me.
However, I've had no trouble with Qubes 4.1.
A search for "linux xorg driver for i915" gives some idea of the
problems, but it is all a bit confusing.
ah. I extracted
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-26.20160929.fc25.x86_64.rpm (year=2016)
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-32.20171025.fc25.x86_64.rpm (year=2017)
from old qubes ISO's. How did you install / exchange them in the running
qubes system?
alternatively, I could also place one of these inside the qubes-4.1 ISO,
where we find actually
/Packages/xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-49.20210126.fc32.x86_64.rpm
Replacing this file is certainly more easy than changing the kernel of
the ISO itself :) Bernhard
I think (my old memory is not what it was!!) I used dnf to uninstall
the version in fedora, then used dnf with the rpm file in the current
directory to install the older version. And then you have to make dnf
ignore updates to that package. You will have to do a search for that
option to dnf (or possibly, an entry in a file somewhere), as I can't
remember that bit, sorry.
Mike.
