Hello, after one week without a crash I would identify the new graphics acceleration as the reason for the problems. For me the change to the older "UXA" helped.

Hm. I thought problems with SNA were fixed a couple years ago?Comment

Well, in my Thinkpad t540p, I do have an xorg.conf file already. The file includes listings for both intel and nvidia and "SNA" is set as default in the intel stanza. I feel somewhat apprehensive to change that to "UXA" lest to mess up the system. Although I still experince the random freezing of the trackpoint pointer which occurs most frequently when playing card game in Aiselriot (quite color graphic),for now, I have decided not to play card games during my idle times.Originally posted by thomas-r View Post
I have taken a note of your solution and may try it later if the situation becomes unbearable.
Thanks for your posting!Comment

Nope. I had to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add that section on March 10, 2014. Before that I was getting tearing and blockiness with GoogleEarth and Stellarium. UXA fixed it. I have an Intel HD3000 primary graphic chip run by Nouveau (i915), and a secondary GeForce GT 650M chip which can only be accessed by Bumblebee's optimus. I never use the NVidia because my primary chip gives me 40-60fps, depending on the app. And, optimus never works on half of the graphic apps I've tried it on. My Acer V3-771G doesn't allow me in the BIOS to select the NVidia as the bootable graphic chip.Originally posted by SteveRiley View Post"A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”
