Re: HP Laptop freezes while using Xorg sporadically.

Sorry I cannot help with your problem, however, I just want to comment 
on the hardware: we ordered a few HP 255-G5 @dayjob back then, and after 
a while we gave up on them because they were constantly having Microsoft 
Windows Bluescreens. I then decided to throw FreeBSD on them without GUI 
and use it for our build farm - have worked flawlessly in that 
configuration now for years. It may be that there is something odd with 
the 255 series from HP.
