interesting, i think this is the long standing bug i've had ever since
i upgraded fedora some time ago.
i've always assumed it was network related because my workaround that
appears to stop the periodic freezes is to start ip traf and then let
it do something like counting network traffic (interface statistics)

but since i did a "yum update" yesterday everything seems to have broken.
X doesn't display anything any more and i saw that it was updating the
openchrome drivers.

i'm considering abandoning my epia box for something else, too much
odd problems over the years i've had it.
not a big fan of via stuff.
