I did say "upgrade" but that was really shorthand for "this machine used to have Hardy but now has Intrepid on it." However it was an install from scratch.

Indeed running as standard user does stop the lockups. Thanks for that tip. I had gotten in the habit of running Pd as root for the realtime scheduling that offers.

Cyrille if you run as root, do you see the lockups?

hello

the diferences i can see are : -i did not upgrade to intrepid, but install from scratch.
-i did not run pd as root.
i think Chris is right : you should run pd as a standart user.

That is so odd. How come our mileage is so different? Hopeful from your comments about a v180 driver, I tried upgrading to Nvidia v180.22. Still the same random lockups.

Something has happened on this laptop between Hardy and Intrepid to cause these lockups. I have tried nVidia drivers as far back as v96 and still the problem is there and only with Gem.

This is Pd-extended 0.40-3 with Gem 0.91.0

I am running pd as root.

   i do use intrepid / nvidia (v180) driver / Gnome / metacity, on a

   everything is fine.
   i use to have problem when switching windows with older nvidia
