A few questions; |
| 28 |
- do you boot straight into X ? If so, have you tried disabling X to see if |
| 29 |
the CLI only is stable? |
| 30 |
- Which video card and are you using and are you loading the firmware? |
| 31 |
- Have you done an emerge @x11-module-rebuild since your last kernel update? |
| 32 |
- Anything interesting in ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log? If 'Build |
| 33 |
Operating System' and 'Current Operating System' are different you could |
| 34 |
try rebuilding xorg-server, but it shouldn't matter. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I've only heard of the c-state issue affecting early Ryzen 1s. |
