FWIW, even tho I’m using the i915 driver, the xe kernel module is in use, (see below, xe is used for drm? e.g. video playback). I watch plenty of videos on firefox. This is part of the reason I suspect something related to wayland as contributing to the cause.

In any event, other users have reported [similar issues (possible with X11 - its not clear to me)](https://community.frame.work/t/persistent-runtime-system-freeze-and-lock-up-on-ubuntu-24-04-3-with-intel-ultra-s1/74476) and then stablity on fedora 42 with wayland. I hope using X11 works for you until this issue get fixed.

```auto
lsmod | grep -E 'xe|i915'
xe 3436544 0
drm_gpuvm 45056 1 xe
gpu_sched 61440 1 xe
drm_ttm_helper 16384 1 xe
drm_exec 12288 2 drm_gpuvm,xe
drm_suballoc_helper 20480 1 xe
i915 4702208 160
drm_buddy 24576 2 xe,i915
ttm 118784 3 drm_ttm_helper,xe,i915
drm_display_helper 278528 2 xe,i915
cec 94208 3 drm_display_helper,xe,i915
i2c_algo_bit 16384 2 xe,i915
intel_vsec 20480 2 intel_pmc_core,xe
video 77824 2 xe,i915

```

EDIT: I configure a custom 3:2 display resolution for X11 to make reading the screen easier on old eyes:

```auto
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-monitor.conf 
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "eDP-1"
    Modeline "1664x1110_60.00" 154.43 1664 1776 1952 2240 1110 1111 1114 1149 -HSync +Vsync
EndSection

```

I doubt this config is the reason for my _not_ experiencing issues on X11.
