Hi
Older iMac, recently installed Debian 11.  Having system freezes even
when running light weight environment like fvwm.  Starts with slow
video, progresses over a few minutes to complete freeze.  Can't even
shift to a different console with ctrl-F_.  Nothing in top (when it
starts) to suggest excessive memory or cpu usage.  Tried to install
nvidia drivers, but apparently not available for my GPU in Debian 11.
Output from lscpu and nvdia-detect in attached file.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks
Bob Crochelt
