Hello,

I'm experiencing Freeze also on my computer !

I have a Asus eeeTop ET2010 on Ubuntu 11.04 x64 with default ubuntu driver in 1600x900 resolution.

I tried nw-fermi 0.6 and 0.6.1 with xf86-input-nextwindow for natty and oneiric. (each with each > 4 tries) and always the same result :
The computer boot perfect, the touchscreen works perfect and is calibrated.
I can use the computer for hours without freeze if I don't touch the screen but when I start using the touchscreen, it freezes completely after 10 to 30 seconds, it always freezes when I'm touching it.
If I uninstall the nwfermi, the computer never freezes when touching.

The freeze is complete (screen not refreshing, no keyboard, no mouse) I have to hard shutdown the computer !

I thought at one point that it could be related to the fglrx ATI driver so I removed it but problem still occurs with the default driver (which works better than the proprietary driver by the way !)

hope I gave enough details, any suggestion ?

thank you !
