Hi,
so Ive just installed FreeBSD 15.1 on a used Thinkpad T14s, installed KDE and added a few /boot/loader.conf entries to correct issues in I've found in dmesg, but otherwise its a vanilla install. I noticed the graphical session would hang occasionally when using firefox or librewolf when playing a video, I fixed this with a loader.conf entry as it was a hdac0 error in dmesg.
I thought this resolved my hang issues but it didn't , so I switched to using x11 instead of wayland. But still I have the occasional hang albeit a lot less.
The last hang I was playing music via youtube, downloading libreoffice with pkg and I had dolphin file manager open, that was it. I switched to another TTY to check the log.
this was the last errors before I had to reboot.
I did notice in htop that /usr/local/bin/kwin_x11 was at 99% cpu usage also.
these are the entries in /boot/loader.conf I added
dmesg
uname
any ideas what my issue is ? should I switch to something lighter like xfce?
