It doesn't respond to the network. Neither ping nor ssh.
I installed a ssh-server before and tested it, it was working fine. After
the freeze, no response anymore.

Before that I tried to connect a external monitor, since it seemed that the
monitor has been turned off, also no luck.

No specified driver for video:
lspci | grep VGA:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated
Graphics Device (rev 02)

I tried to check Xorg.0.log, messages, dmesg and syslog for errors along
with the .1's for them, since I can just check them after restart. But the
only hint are those lines from syslog debug output from gdm:


Mar 30 15:16:58 raul-laptop gdm[2635]: DEBUG: close_if_needed: Got G_IO_HUP on 8
Mar 30 15:16:58 raul-laptop gdm[2635]: DEBUG: close_if_needed: Got error on 8

Thank you
