Framework 13 Linux Mint freezing after a couple minutes w/ RDSEED32 error

Framework 13

Linux Mint 22.3 64-bit Cinnamon 6.6.7

CPU: AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370

kernel: 6.17.0-20-generic

It keeps crashing on me after ~4 min of use of keys or mouse buttons.
When it freezes, I can still move the mouse but just not interact with anything.

When I run a crash report this is what I get:

kernel: RDSEED32 is broken. Disabling the corresponding CUID bit. kernel: ucsi_acpi USBCO00: 00: unknown error 256
kernel: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: unknown error 256
bluetoothd[909]: profiles/sap/server.c:sap_server_register() Sap driver initialization failed. bluetoothd[909]: sap-server: Operation not permitted (1) lightdm[1435]: gkr-pam: couldn’t unlock the login keyring.

If I install Linux mint, AND DON’T update the iOS, then this problem doesn’t show up. So it’s in the update.
I’ve seen this “RDSEED32 is broken” on other threads but it doesn’t seem to be on my configuration.
I thought this would be patched by now.
Any thoughts?

Enable Wayland. This sounds like Xorg issue tied to it’s vblank handling.

You can also try to turn off PSR which will reduce some of the behavior that happens with vblank handling.

There is a kernel patch I can point you at that would potentially help as well if you want to rebuild your kernel.

Thanks for these leads. I’ll start with these two. And yes, if you could point me at the kernel info I’ll start looking at it, and if I need to rebuild my kernel, I will, but I’m bummed that this is somehow an unknown, unpatched issue.

I figured that Linux Mint is big enough and that this chip said has been out for a bit. This wouldn’t be an issue.

Any thoughts on why this hasn’t been patched?

Should I submit an issue to AMD?

Xorg is dated technology not getting work. So deficiencies in it won’t be fixed.

This is the patch I’m talking about. It changes how vblank works that tends to help for what Xorg does according to some people.
