It was an almost-funny coincidence that the very next posting in this
list was Francois Patte saying that the nouveau driver was causing his
system to have the same sorts of problems that I had back in 2013,
causing me to switch to the proprietary nVidia driver at that time!
I've been watching for Rick Stevens to chime in on that new thread; he
was a great help to me on that problem in 2013. If Francois's new
thread had not shown up, I would try going back to the nouveau driver.
But now I think it unwise.
thanks,
