Hi there,
I've had a couple of random desktop freezes in F23 under Plasma, both of them while using Chrome. I have an Nvidia card with Nouveau.
Anyone else seeing this? How about with the Nvidia drivers?
I am using a downgraded Xorg 1.17 with manually installed prop. NVIDIA driver. No issue observed so far. I had quite some issues before the downgrade when attempting to get the Nouveau running as KDE was freezing the system during the load screen. I assumed some driver issues there. My best guess would be to switch the Composite a bit... did you try using OpenGL 2.0 instead of OpenGL 3.2 or Xrender and checking if the freezes are gone? If prop. driver are an option, give it a try.
I'll consider downgrading and using the proprietary driver if that's the quickest solution. Don't really feel like doing regression testing on all the possible variables.
Downgraded and all good so far. Fingers crossed.
